FrozenVent posted:They also used a dummy warhead that wasn’t weighed / balanced the same as the actual warhead, the contact detonator had never been tested so it would fail on a perpendicular impact… Also wasn't all of the testing conducted as non destructive so as to save money? That is to say, not once did they conduct live fire testing throughout the entire course of development and certification.

I should clarify that's Willful Hazarding. A negligent fuckup that causes the loss of a ship (or aircraft) is a lesser, but still court martiable offense.

What's absolutely astonishing is that Captain Watson was allowed to finish out his career and retire. I mean, it wasn't an act of sabotage, or even one of criminal negligence, but it was the single biggest loss of hulls since the action against the CSS Virginia and wouldn't be matched until Pearl Harbor. I don't get how he wasn't drummed out of service.

I've got a better idea for a touch up. See, the problem is that a few months at sea will just restore the rust stain. You need to do something to make it look intentional.  I feel like that change will really class up the ship. A.o.D. fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Aug 10, 2021 |

We've already got LCACs and they're incredibly sea state sensitive. Landing craft in general aren't the best at sea keeping, so I don't see how it's a non-starter for an Ekranoplan.
