[quote="redhawk_six":e6bf9]yeah, I'd have to agree with that. Modern ships, like the Canadian Halifax class frigates are much more advanced. The Halifax's can do the same as battleships using their Bofors (I think I spelt that right) with respect to providing artillery support for seaborne assaults. They are also much faster and more manuverable than the larger, bulky battleships.[/quote:e6bf9]

lol a 76mm gun throwing as much explosive as 9 406mm guns?

i think i'd rather have armor than manuverability, considering one can blow you out of the water with a guided missile hake:

I'd take that little 2-pegged boat from Battleship, what was that, the Cruiser? heh

No, but the bofors are automatics, and the bofors on the Canadian frigates are acctully 57mm.

what good is automatic when you get 9 huge holes in your hull oOo:

That's what Chaff, .50 cal. MGs, and a 20mm CWIS area for, stopping rockets and other things that might put holes in your hull.

oOo: Damn, I mean are, not area

we really need an edit button on this forum

i don't think the point of an iowa BB is shooting rockets evil:

too bad anything above a pt boat just gets a missile in it these days anyway. what's the fun in letting a computer do all the killing?

redhawk your sig, the LAVs..ill be in one by January on next year biggrin: GO MARINES!
