Funnily enough, there is an equally valid statement that could be made about PWOs on warships.


Although they didn't get a chance to splash an attacking jet every day, they take ship defence very seriously and certainly understand well the tactics and weapon types required to disable neutralise or deter an airborne combatant.

They move.
They fight back.
They have countermeasures.
