I was out on the water about 20-25 miles north of Boston today, and you could see the city skyline from there.

That was what popped into my mind: “The USS New Jersey could hit that from here!”

It was astonishing to consider.

The age of missile technology is too familiar, too mundane – there’s just something about the raw power of old tech large caliber gunnery that grabs you. As we’re seeing, as time goes on the defense capability against missiles is tightening up. It’s getting better and better. But I’m not sure what if anything could be done to actively interdict a trio of more or less 2,000lb each (configuration depending on mission) projectiles coming at you in feet per second and not miles per hour. Guess it would be Doom on you, in a spectacular manner.
