    Pirate hunting could justify one "BIG" - - - the "big-boy' bomb of 1940's .................

    Could be a solution. We let the whole Somalia & Co. know that exactly at 10.00 a.m. of a given day an enormous tanker loaded with gold bars would pass through the gulf. Then, when all 200.000 pirate boats operating in the area swarm in to seize it - KAAAABOOOOOMMM!

    What a waste of a tanker, and their spies would have seen what was not loaded and ignor it....

    Make ´em as stealthy as you like, so much easier to target 5 cruise missiles at their base. Oppss we forgot about that....

    Looks like a Russian design picked up by the North Koreans and now the Iranians are making their own.

    Feel the love.:D

    You are right, they are based on stealth and could be made stealthier but I suspect they like all the little specks to show up on our radar screen for now.

    Related, Norway if compelled to could offer them these.

    Sort of like a beamy stubby grey sub ploughing through the water - it is there...

    What you are referring to is called Phalanx. It is normally a final defense against incoming missiles. The R2 unit can put 2-1/4 tons of heavy metal into the air every minute. Yes I think it would make a mess of one of those tub toys.
