This is precisely the type of attack our Navy will face if we get into it with Iran in the Gulf. Reports are we think we can kill them before they hit our ships

I read somewhere this morning that the ship didn't have its anti-missile countermeasures turned on. Who knows whether that is true or disinformation.
