@ACL9000 One shot stop with a kinetic projectile is subject to random chance - how much solid matter is in its way when it hits? If the crew is lucky it passes through some (relatively) paper thin bulkheads and exits leaving a hole above the waterline. If they're unlucky it hits the engine room.

It's likely that the first hit seriously degrades ship defenses, at which point you better hope the enemy is short on missiles.
@AuntNorma Nah, only 'new' scifi books I've read are The Martian and Surface Detail. Maybe Accelerando, depending on when that came out.
@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @Shlomo @thefinn Apparently some of these 'protesters' were so hopped up and cranked out on meth (Captagon?) that they died from OD before security forces could get to them

Glowniggers and Mossad not really sending their best

The liberals that have been infiltrating the right are blowing their cover over the ICE raids / protesting.

Pay attention.

The people protesting ICE are the same ones who were willing to turn in their neighbors for having a Thanksgiving dinner with too many people in the house.

Remember when the Democrats cared about border security? (Or at least claimed they did)

@MongoMonkey If the carrier is damaged badly enough to require a complete overhaul the enemy wins because we cannot afford.

Also those overhauls take years, what with the DIE hires they've put on the case.
A missile with a warhead can be prematurely detonated or damaged sufficiently to fuck up its precision targeting by antimissile systems.

A 10X hypersonic kinetic projectile... not so much.
@ACL9000 The claim is that the Aegis metalstorm defense can take out any incoming missile. It has never been tested against Russian hypersonics.
Panoptic inversion is coming for the brownoids.

I told you so.
