I am stunned to find no post extoling the fine rocketteers of U.S.S. Lake Erie for scoring on that 133 mile smackdown of a crossing bogy doing just over 17k mph. Now I have to find a sporting clays course with a little more room.
BZ to all hands and kudos to the geeks who wired up the shot.
Now we can start fantasizing about a Steven Sagall type takeover of any SM-3 armed cruiser or Destroyer that might intercept the above referenced missles.

Think about it for a minute: Where are those missiles aimed right now? Russia? China? Pyongyang? Resetting the coordinates has got to be extremely complicated, involving a great many people in different locations. But short-circuiting the firing controls so that fuel flows to the rocket engines won't be that hard. When that rocket starts its trajectory over the Pole, do you think President Whatsisname is going to convince the Chinese President-for-life that the warhead isn't live?
