Reminds me of the time they were testing Sea something-or-other (Sea Wolf?). It was tasked with intercepting a naval artillery round (sadly not one of those huge shells we had when we still had big ships)....
The gun went bang, then the Sea Thingy acquired, launched and zapped within half-a-heartbeat. Wherupon the driver of the artillery-carrying ship signalled to the captain of 'tother grey ship:
"It seems we've shot down your rocket!"
A pity this thread isn't about the dear old Meatbox - even I wangled 3 trips in the back of Clementine when I was at Brawdy!
