Remembering USS Stark – Red Sky in Morning: Naval Combat at the Dawn of Hypersonics

Yes this is a sad memory of the USS stark. I just found this video from last year with a good Argentine Navy pilot, in excellent English, describing how they acquired some exocet missiles and how they were used against the British in the Falklands.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."At the dawn of hypersonic weapons, the Navy is woefully unprepared. Nearly a decade of budgetary cuts and nearly two decades of operations in support of the global war on terror have exhausted the fleet and slowed technological development. American sailors will be involved in missile combat in the future, whether from a terrorist-launched Kalibr missile or a classic state-on-state war, and lives will be lost. Just how many lives will depend on the willingness of the Navy to use America’s technological and intellectual might to pair man and machine against the threats. The Navy cannot afford to wait any longer to develop and deploy algorithms for offense and defense. Its very existence as a service depends on it.
