US aircraft carrier's near miss with missile fired by Middle East rebels
US aircraft carrier's near miss with missile fired by Middle East rebels
The aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower engaged in combat in the Middle East from November last year to June.
"By some accounts, an ASBM [anti-ship ballistic missile] or other missile arrived at a very shallow trajectory, with minimal warning, without a chance for interception, and splashing down around 200 meters [656 feet] from" the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Something really funny almost happened. 😞
So - a single missile of a type available to rebel groups can't be intercepted by a US aircraft carrier.
That sounds...not good.Sounds great actually. If you travel half around the world to kill starving people, you deserve to die
Didn't a carrier accidentally "hit ground"?
