  1. Agree it was and is a hazard. the owner of the cat mujst have thought the ship was unsinkable as was the propaganda back then which was proved wrong in the final battle.

  2. Never knew this tac transport plane could do this. Read on its deployments for testing THAAD. Is this feasible in SF2 as a mod?

     

    On November 1, 2015, a THAAD system was a key component of Campaign Fierce Sentry Flight Test Operational-02 Event 2 (FTO-02 E2), a complex $230 million U.S. military missile defense system test event conducted at Wake Island and the surrounding ocean areas. The objective was to test the ability of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense and THAAD Weapon Systems to defeat a raid of three near-simultaneous air and missile targets, consisting of one medium-range ballistic missile, one short-range ballistic missile and one cruise missile target. During the test, a THAAD system on Wake Island detected and destroyed a short-range target simulating a short-range ballistic missile that was launched by a C-17 transport plane. At the same time, the THAAD system and the USS John Paul Jones guided missile destroyer both launched missiles to intercept a medium-range ballistic missile, launched by a second C-17.[32][33]
