How about those monstrous guns on large battleships that fire
Volkswagon size pieces of ordnance?  Watching those things going
overhead is sure inspiring, if not indecent.  Navy gunners don't need
10 digit grid coordinates, just grid squares.

OTOH, Spectre gunships also come to mind as a little indecent.  I love
to watch them roll into a left-hand orbit.

But personally, give me a good Howitzer unit with flechette
anti-personnel rounds or even a tank w/ a sabot round or two.

Speaking of all these weapons systems, is the Navy still bent on using
Windoze on its warships, or have they finally come around to Linux?

Ciao,
