Yep, I remember those days. Being a weapon's radar guidance expert, we'd point the radar and shoot seagulls out of the air. Occasionally, we'd point it to the aft part of the ship when boatswain mate gathered there for their cigarette breaks. We'd get a kick out of watching them suddenly disband and run off. No radiating, just joysticked the bull gear and parapet to point in that direction.
USS George H W Bush recently completed a 28 month modernization refit at Norfolk. It is my prediction this vessel will be instrumental in the reversal of the cabals reign of terror. I don’t now how or when but the irony of taking down the cabal with a ship named after one of their most diabolical leaders would be pure brilliance.
Good shooting. They hit the target. Next practice is the side of some barn.
I believe the purpose of this is to keep the weapon "limbered up"....

Should have been a 20mm Vulcan, or a cruise missile. 50cal is like bring a toothbrush to a nuk release. Stupid brief.
Budget constraints...Howls....
I think PedoJo left a half million rounds of 50 cal for the Tali. They probably get more practice.
