"No we don't have any long range missiles designed to hit large bombers flying straight and level high altitude. And we cancelled any we had on the drawing board after the demise of the "Evil Empire""
Straight and level huh? Well....that's pretty funny, seeing as how the Phoenix can pull 19gs and attacks with the most energy efficient profile one can imagine. That big 135lb warhead aint too bad either.
You were a gun bunny....you know what kind of radius a 135lb blast/frag warhead will cover.
"Name the potential enemy that has a large fleet of bombers that could threaten a CBG."
Mate any of the SU-27 operator nations with some decent AShMs, it's a legitimate threat. China has a ton of old Russian bombers, btw.
"Guess we will just depend on Aegis with SM-2 Block 3s and F-18s with AIM 120."
Aint no other choice, is there?
"I trust the Navy to protect jarheads."
That makes one of us.
Tom Cooper used to post here, btw. His story added up as far as i'm concerned after having had actual discussions with him.
