#8  Who the hell names a warship "Ponce"?


Ponce is the only ship of the United States Navy that is named for Ponce in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, which in turn was named after the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León, the first governor of Puerto Rico and European discoverer of Florida.

#6  I imagine a blue-green variant would be on the horizon than because this will make torpedos the best way of attack. And of course sea-skimmers with multiple warheads and flack.

#2  Now make it blue-green light so it can hit those ChiCom subs in the ocean. Make the blue-green one even better by putting it on a sat looking for subs in the ocean.
