ships used to be towed out to India - to be stripped down by the wreckers... (remember the Bonny?)JDnav said:hha... Wouldnt it serve better purpose if it was salvaged for steel and parts rather than sunk for practice
Ex-Dragoon said:How many Harpoons and/or other missiles were launched against her?
Cronicbny said:She was indeed sunk yesterday. She was not, however, sunk by ship's guns. She was put down by a laser guided bomb that was dropped from a CF-18.
It was a great experience to fire on a "live" target for only the second time in my career (the first was a US Knox Class FFG off the coast of Washington). I will post videos and pics once we get then all processed. She really took a hell of a beating from the 9 ships that fired on her, but she remained afloat through all Naval gunfire (5in, 76mm, 57mm, 40mm, 25mm, 20mm and .50 cal) and missiles. Well done HURON.
