Now, how dumb are you, opening fire on warships like these - from a 30 foot fishing boat?

I just read the article before seeing this thread. Last ship I was on was in the late 70's and being a real shore sailor I was very impressed with the firepower we had then. I can only imagine what they are capable of today and those people just had to be nuts to even think of not just waving the white flag. Our Navy has always has been and always will be the best in the world. I've got an ashtray made from the base of a 5 incher and it may not mean anything to most people but to me it's a reminder of being a small part of the best organization in the world.
