If they say so... but wasn't that disaster involving an Aegis cruiser who made mistakes and assumptions, without considering the limitations of their equipment...with carriers not playing any part whatsoever?

I mean, carriers were in the region, but AFAIK not a factor in this incident?

Seems like a very expensive set for a ship not involved...just sayin. I think despite their claims they must have made it for some other reason.


No idea.
