A combat ready ship from the greatest Navy that ever sailed on any ocean fired on a plywood Criss Craft with 4 terrorists aboard and only managed to kill one. Somethings not right.
Not a combat ship, Military Sealift Command, all cilvilans except a security detachment. If any American ship USNS or USS is approached they have the right to warn and if the warnining is not heeded, to fire upon as if hostile.
Please know what the fuck you are posting your opinion about before you post and show your ignorant ass.
Let's put it this way: We have the greatest Navy that ever sailed and a carrier strike force that can be anywhere in the world at the drop of a hat but the "Military Sealift Command" with all civilians aboard shoots (and misses) a boatload of terrorists. Maybe we should quit making gigantic toys and concentrate on the real threat.
Do you even know ANYTHING about the Navy? MSC (Military Sealift Command) is a privatized group that does UNREP (underway replenishment) ONLY. They aren't equipped with heavy guns and the 50 cal is the best they can get. BTW idiot, got a quick question for you............ever try to fire at a moving target from a moving platform with a 50 cal? I have and it's not as easy as you might think, because the waves can really fuck with your shot.
Besides, the MSC vessels that we use now are ships that used to be commissioned Navy vessels. Matter of fact, my very first ship back in '83 was the USS CONCORD (AFS-5), and when I went for my final sea tour in 98-99 it was onboard the USNS CONCORD (T-AFS-5). When she was USS? We carried two 3 inch 50's on the front, but when she became USNS? The guns were removed.
Try again before spewing bullshit you have no idea about.
