Battleships are back? What? How do I even meme this? How is this not already a meme? Why is the usa like this? Do they know why battleships stopped being effective as line combatants? (mander.xyz)

I caught the orange man talking on the radio, as I am not american I knew it was going to be something stupid but this? I thought it was a joke, an onion like thing, but nooooo. What sealed it is when in the very speech about the new 100x battleships, trump stated that he did not know why the us stopped using battleships....

That is the theory from before they tested and found they could not meaningfully guide the dart once in flight and they would need the dart itself to be more steerable

This is false and not mentioned by your source.

citing unresolved problems with barrel life and a low rate of fire

Lol.

You were wrong about something. It's really not a big deal. It's worse to make stuff up to try to seem right and post "sources" that don't even mention what you're talking about.

    Its right in the first document I linked That is still outdated from 2019. But no please lets keep going about how I am wrong due to you posting a promotional article from the people who are selling the system that does not address anything I stated. Or you can just say the word physics again, that would I am sure help us come to an understanding.

    We do both agree that the railgun system was scrapped for good reason, just not the same reasons.

    No, it isn't. If it was, then you could simply quote the relevant text and prove you are right. I'll wait.

    posting a promotional article from the people who are selling the system

    Again, completely false:

    GlobalSecurity.org is NOT a private security/military company, defense contractor, or vendor. We are NOT affiliated with any such entity and we do NOT sell anything. We also do NOT buy any military equipment, machine parts, or other such items. Our website has pages describing weapon systems and other equipment but we do NOT buy or sell them.
