Title: 21st Century North Korean 'Q ship'
Post by: Story on February 15, 2024, 05:56:13 AM

A nightmare I started noodling eight years ago - the NorKs keep threatening to hit the mainland USA. You don't need a long range missile for that, if you can move the firing platform right up to the target's front stoop.

Just park your cargo ship in with all the others off NOLA on any given day, set your fire control system to Remote and look at what you can range.

Can some moderator move this to the boats and ships folder?

I started this many years ago and might be getting my inspiration back on it.

Makes you wonder where the NorKs got their inspiration?

 Heh. I had the Phantom Raider as a child in the Sixties. As I started scrolling and saw your plan views, it was the first thing I thought of...
