re: #310 rightside

I launched surface to air missiles in the Navy, and although it’s physically possible to launch something that size from a platform, the platform would have to be so ginormous, it wouldn’t even be funny.

Have you SEEN the big container ship lined up outside of LA/LB? The freakin’ size of these things? They are physically and economically frightening. The ship and stacked containers standing I dunno a couple of hundred feet tall out of the water?

And there is no shortage of the things.
