Khan was designed specifically to counter SDs, but I think it could only be fired from other SDs.

Of course it is, but the majority of people rp MT, not PMT and not PT. I will think about submarines and who I would talk to about it, as I am not a subsurface expert.Star Trek America wrote:Questers wrote:A great deal of this is pretty much applicable to air warfare, especially because aero-naval warfare is largely inseperable.
Wouldn't it be seperable depending on era? You're absolutely correct; just saying. Oh while it's on my mind; please add a section about the dos and don'ts of submarine warfare.

Here's a post I wrote on NSD about non-radar forms of terminal guidance. It's about electro-optical sensors, but since LIDAR is a form of optics, it works the same principle.Reformed Britannia wrote:Another question: is LADAR an effective form of missile guidance when the missile is in its terminal phase?

For a missile like that to work it would either have to be ballistic, i.e. gigantic, because to get any usable amount of range on it it would have to go so high up to cover the distance required it would likely go into the atmosphere, so no, not like a javelin. What you are talking about is a hi-lo flight path as opposed to a lo-lo. Let me explain. Radar is limited by the horizon; http://radarproblems.com/calculators/horizon.htm this handy calculator helps you out. Sea skimmers are strong because with a ship with a radar 20m above sea level, a missile approach at 20m above sea level (enter the figures and you'll see) will only appear on radar 31km from the ship, because the curvature of the earth is blocking it. Now let's put that inbound missile at 8,000 metres altitude. It can be seen on radar at 387km (assuming it isn't stealth.) So you can see that sea skimming reduces the reaction time of air defences quite significantly; like, twelve-fold, taking these figures.Dinosians wrote:I have to wonder if there is a question that Questers can't answer on this subject...
I've read up on missiles now, and I was wondering which is more effective against a Naval Force: sea-skimming or missiles that approach the target, launch vertically upward and then dive back down on top of the enemy (Similar to a Javelin)?
Also If necessary, under the circumstances can a IIR/Radiation AAM be used against a Ship? As they would give off a large amount Heat/Radiation.

The same way you defeat stealth anything. Stealth is simply measures taken to reduce radar observability. A stealth vehicle, be it ship or aircraft, broadcasting full transmissions is louder than a non-stealth vehicle not broadcasting anything. The answer is proper and thorough ELINT.LINTYLAND wrote:Hey Questers, how can a person defeat a stealth ship?

You know, this is just a hobby of mine, that I've been interested in for six(!) years. It all began when Praetonia said that I was "probably OMP material." Back in the day, the OMP, Organisation of Maritime Powers, was an ad-hoc group of all the greatest naval powers, tacticians and designers. Admittance really did mean something. It all began from there. I don't have a background in science or even the Navy (i've been mulling over an Army career, actually.) If you have the dedication, you too can be like me, or any of the others like me, on this forum. You don't even need to be particularly smart, just to have an analytical mind and a desire to see fairness and realism.Dinosians wrote:I have to wonder if there is a question that Questers can't answer on this subject...
