Anyone have some good reads on SDI? Writing a paper for it for a history class.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

They're MT in the same way that WWE is MT. Its WEE but instead of big muscular dudes hitting each other with chairs its a Japanese guy in a toy robot versus some Burgers in a Frankenstein piece of construction equipment.

Pretty much, just looking at it all my main question is why not just use excavators?
I only watched up to the first battle which was so stupidly lame, how on earth did they expect to stop a 6.5ton thing moving at 18mph with a paintball gun that barely dents cars...

incompetence

It would have to go beyond mere incompetence and into wilful negligence for the crew of a nuclear powered anything to not have any kind of functional radiation monitoring, particularly for crew actively working with the reactor.
Parthan is likely tge guy for fun fun reactor stuffs and possible mishaps.

Well, to make it more realistic, I've taken into account some malfunctions in the detection system, as well as 48 hours elapsed time instead of a few months.

Sabotage by a foreign power with an intimate knowledge of your ship's reactor design and safety systems.
It's really the only likely way.
Aside from gross incompetence at all levels going all the way back to the reactor and ship's basic design.

Soviet combat manuals continue insisting that a Dock Landing Ship can be done in by 2-3 impacts from a 155mm/152mm gun.
How is this meant to occur? These are pretty big boats.
