Photos of a sinkex

imagine an SS-N-19 hit that ship 😐

The Sea Zenith mounts can elevate +127 deg., which is makes it very effective against ASuW missiles that pop-up in the terminal phase.

Well neither is the Standard Phalanx that they have mounted on top of the hanger currently 😉

Besides the Sea Zen’s have a much superior field of fire.

If mounted in the same spot, yes. But not if mounted in front of the bridge.

Who manufactures the sea zen?

Oerlikon-Contraves

Look at the aft of that ship, man thos Sea Zens are good, makes me wonder why our Anzacs never got them 🙁 They were originally supposed to, one forward where we now have the Harpoon cannisters.

Major close-in fire power from those quad 25mm KBB mounts with hemispherical coverage. But, from the view point of coverage, just 1 forward would clearly not have been enough for the ANZACs.

Well, here are a LOT of pics of Sinkex arround the world

I only hope we get to see some pics soon of the Sinkex of the USS America CV

spectacular!

while many nowadays scoff at harpoon’s puny power compared to bigass stuff like Brahmos and Sunburn, let us not forget good ol’ RGM-84 is still a killer!

i hope no people or fishes were harmed in the course of this exercise.

Do the Knox ships have an aluminium superstructure by any chance? Or is the damage to the bridge purely blast damage? Look at that ASROC launcher, torn right off of its base!
