Subject: missile gun boats
fasttrack    1/5/2004 10:56:51 AM
missile gun boats seem to be a best fit for bang for your buck combat platforms. what use are destroyers/frigates? if a missile gun boat/corvette class can engage with SSMs with the advantage of small stealthy size then maybe they represent the optimal coefficient of power and cost. navies don't go for them because big is still beautiful.

As far as I know: The tactic with MMB during the cold war in Danish waters was MMB's AND aircraft attacking simultaneously: The F-16 skimming the treeline and the MMB coming out between the trees.

FAC have the same problem as attack helicopters. In order to use them effectively they have to be employed in conjunction with other platforms - but with the other supporting platforms present the FAC becomes almost redundant.
