T...American warships are fairly safe from missiles. Those Phalanx systems are pretty good at swatting incoming birds out of the air. They throw up a wall of bullets, 600 rounds per second, and they're radar guided. They're basically 20 mm Gatling guns sticking out of a pivoting radome. We called them "R2-D2 guns", like the little robot from "Star Wars". I heard from my Fire Control friends aboard ship that the incoming birds turned into confetti, quite a ways out from impact. Now a large volley of missiles, that might be a problem. The biggest threat is torpedo attack, or a small boat loaded with explosives, as the USS Cole showed us. I was on the Cole's sister ship USS Stout. Those camel jockeys knew just where to hit her, they got her right between main engine room #1 and auxiliary machinery room #1. Had the explosion breeched one more bulkhead and flooded auxiliary #2, the Cole would have sunk...<br /><br />As to seed, I've got a bunch, and we've been saving a bunch too. Got probably 400 squash seeds drying right now in the kitchen....Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-70935291988421608692010-06-24T09:21:04.260-07:002010-06-24T09:21:04.260-07:00We have the wheat but no wheat grinder.

We just don't have the manpower for anymore strife there.
