He has some diesel/electric subs, and those things are quiet. But there are at least two fast attack subs with the carrier group, maybe more, and they are good at what they do. If a torpedo gets shot at the carrier, it will be interesting to see the response. He has a lot of missiles, but they aren't really all that accurate at that range, and there will be a LOT of DDG, DEG, and other ships, including the carrier with CIWS missile defense, so it will be difficult for a missile to make it through that 'steel curtain'. And there's always the chance that one of Lil Kim's generals will get antsy and put a bullet in the back of his chubby little head if he goes off the reservation.

The MOABs are GPS guided and steered to the target. I'd guess about half the cost of them is the electronics package over a straight gravity bomb with no guidance package.
That idea of dropping a buttload of MOABs on the artillery is a good idea. Anybody in the open would be pretty much liquefied inside the body cavity from the overpressure. Everything within the blast zone would be scattered to hell 'n' back, too.
Another thing about our Fast Attack subs that go with the carrier groups. They can 'piggyback' off the sonar of the combatant support ships. The DDG, DEG, and DLGs can ping in a specific direction and the subs can listen to any return echo. The subs don't have to go active sonar to find targets when with the carrier group. They can just listen like they do normally, but with some help. Sonar is pretty far ahead of what it was when I was in the Navy, and it was impressive back then.

For one, that will never happen, second - never underestimate one's adversary. That's what got us into trouble the first go around with Korea when we though we were invincible following the allied victory of WWII. North Korea was the beginning of our token bombings and then cut and run tactics thanks to our spineless political leaders.

If he ever gets one more than 5 seconds off the pad, someone could be in trouble...
If that fat little fartblossom ever gets one off the pad aimed East and it falls short, goes off course, and hits Japan, then he's gonna be in a world of hurt.

Don't know about them flying the old Imperial Navy ensign, but there are more than a few Japanese ships that have joined up with the Vinson battle group. Lil Kim might just have bit off more than he can chew.
In other news, his latest missile test barely got off the launchpad before it started a slow pinwheel, broke apart, and crashed in a spectacular explosion. Too bad the little butterball wasn't at ground zero of the crash! The resulting fat fire could have been photographed from the International Space Station! :roll2:

It's possible, but I watched a video of the launch and it looked like something to do with the fuel. There was a LOT of brown smoke coming out the rocket nozzle on one side. Looks like it was more of a mechanical failure somewhere, either in the fuel or the combustion chamber, like a burn through somewhere. And it was having a LOT of difficulty getting off the launchpad after ignition, like the thrust was way too low. One thing is for sure; with the crash and huge explosion it's going to be hard to find out what went wrong. Pieces of the missile got scattered over a huge plot of real estate.

Rocket test pilot?
:uhm:
Jerry
And then there were none.
I'd bet he had a seriously funny Daffy Duck fit behind closed doors when that missile crashed and exploded. And it wouldn't be all that strange for him to have one or two missile crew shot...........just to motivate those left.

Recoil is how you know primer ignition is complete.
