Very impressive warship...sunk by a tanker, and the tanker was barely scratched.
Maybe Russia should build a fleet of tankers whose only purpose would be in time of war to sink NATO ships?
My understanding is that these latest warships have much lightened the hulls for speed and saving weight for missiles carried?
No one repeats errors like the military.
Remember in the Falklands War how a then-modern British destroyer was tremendously damaged by virtue of having an aluminum upper-structure which melted?
