Lebanon Operations, Strikes, and Evacuation Discussions (Merged)

Condolances to the mssing crew members, but something imporant may have happened here. It may be possible that this vessel was hit by a slow flying primitive UAV. If this is the case then even if the vessel had been Phalanx eqipped (likely), the UAV was travelling below the minimum egagement speed dialed into the Phalanx. Not a pleasant situation for any ops room team. RN take note.
