No navy in the world has submarines like this..except the US Navy.

Norfolk, Va. (March 31, 2006) - The guided-missile submarine USS Florida (SSGN 728) arrives at Naval Station Norfolk to make a brief stop for passengers during sea trials off the coast of Virginia.

The nuclear-powered submarine will have the capability to launch up to 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles, conduct sustained special forces operations and carry other payloads, such as unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and special forces equipment.

[walter]

now those are interesting pictures--they look real enough to me. I suppose whereever you got that from said it was kill footage from an F-18, or is there some way to tell (I don't know HUD layouts of different aircraft type)? Anyway, bad day for the F-22 pilot and great day for the F-18 pilot! Or maybe the F-22 pilots have to mix up close every now and then and what we see here is the single split second of an engagement where the other guy had him in his crosshairs. Do you have a link for those, Germark?

Closing this thread until further notice.
