Navy Warships Could Soon Be Armed with Laser Weapons - 19FortyFive

Cue the Dr. Evil meme's with him claiming to want "Sharks with Laser Beams on Their Heads" … from the Austin Powers Movies: The US Navy is actually planning on fielding Navy Warships with ACTUAL Laser Weapons installed. In a 1945.com article, it states "Two of Germany’s defense industry heavyweights, MBDA Deutschland and Rheinmetall have been awarded a federal contract to built and develop a laser weapon demonstrator that will be tested at sea." So science fiction (or would that be science-comedy fiction?) could actually become reality soon. Enjoy!
