Modern anti-ship torpedoes are designed to break something the size of a frigate or destroyer in half.

This might not be something that can be precisely measured, but outside of long-range missile bombardment or nuclear strike, what's the most expensive kind of warfare to field?
Like, one torpedo takes out a destroyer, the right amount of loose wire takes out a helicopter, everything about the F-35, just the sheer amount of money poured into Coalition forces versus largely destitute terrorist organizations in Bush's illegal war, it kinda seems like everything the military produces can be rendered inoperable with surprisingly cheap tools.

The thing is, you can lose an unlimited number of drones. You can lose as many as you can build.

You can only lose as many planes as you have pilots, you can only lose as many boats as you have seamen. So with no cost concerns, drone warfare would be the most expensive.


FuturePastNow posted:

Defense is always playing catch up to attack. Weapons get better. Countermeasures against them improve. Warships have sonar to try to detect submarines, and carry helicopters to extend the range of that defense, and submarines have stealth. Submarines have really good stealth. But we haven't fought an enemy since WWII that posed a serious threat to ships and the weapons (and defenses) have changed a lot since then, so while the military no doubt practices and wargames constantly, no one can know what would really happen if, say, China decided to try to evict the US Navy from the Pacific.

:thunk: Good points all, I appreciate the insight. I was trying to think of a way to retool the question to ask more about what might have the biggest ratio between cost of attack and inflicted losses but I just kept imagining geese getting sucked into turbine engines and I think I need therapy now? If someone wanted to shut down an enemy airstrip should I parachute behind enemy lines with just like, a fuckton of stale bread? In theory?

A guy about a mile away from me went up a tree with a chainsaw to trim it, didn't tie himself off. He fell out of the tree from 35 feet and landed on one of the upright poles of a chain link fence and suffered "a fatal penetrating wound".

Yeah I think one of the things that doesn't dawn on you until 13 ancient white pines collapse on your cabin all in the same storm, but every lateral branch on a tree is a potential spear, just waiting to dump pine sap into your attic treasures.

A tree is just a giant spear covered in spears growing in other directions.

War is definitely OSHA. I knew a KBR contractor who was basically trapped in a hotel in Qatar because his entire company was in the process of getting investigated by Congress. The base he worked at had AC units whose condensers drained directly into ungrounded electrical boxes. If the floor of the shower got too wet, people would get electrocuted.

The boat guy highlights one of my fears. So many times just being dead exhausted and having to back up or dump a truck at the end of the day. Easy to forget the parking break or neutral when you're alone, burnt out and frustrated getting out and checking how much space you have.

Dunno what that dumbasses deal was tho lol.

Actually, just look around this memorial day weekend and you'll see plenty of boats, campers and trailers improperly hitched, bad lights, bad rigging.

My scoutmaster taught me to deal with irate boaterists by being as cordial and cheerful as you can and, without fail, it results in some of the most spectacular meltdowns I have ever witnessed. Rich Quebecoi don't know how to handle polite Americans. It's cute cuz you know they don't have guns.
