One of the many gun exercises the Cole conducted in the beginning of their 2003-2004 deployment to the Mediterranean. Preceding this was a drill using the CIWS Block 1B, which is capable of engaging surface targets. Weapons involved were the Mk38 in 25mm, the M2 in .50 cal and the M60 and Mk44 in 7.62mm.

    Thanks, that makes sense.

    Come to think of it, I wonder how us LandBlubbers would do at the task of keeping fire on a moving target…

    Have you got any videos of trained-up crews nailing the inbound target?

    All weapons participating in this firing exercise are manually operated, including CIWS…which is being controlled by my buddy.

    I hope whatever target they shoot at is BIG ans SLOW because they seem to have trouble converging their fire on a speed-boat sized target.

    Now if only they used this weaponry back in 2000, there would have been no American lives lost. The weapons are there to be used. The Iranian gunboats which tested our Navy recently should have been blown out of the water.

    Yes, the Cole was bombed on October 12, 2000 while refueling in Aden, Yemen. Seventeen of my shipmates were killed.

    Watching the ciws gives me a woody…
    P.S Wasnt the USS Cole the ship that was blown up in a Yemmen harbour back in 2000 by muslim extremists with loss of life?

    no, those are the nylon sabots, like a jacket, that peels away after the 15mm round leaves the 20mm barrel.

    if you look below where the machine is firing are those bullets that have gone really low or what??

    I thank him everyday for his 20 years of service, As long as the Cole is there for another year or 2 I will see it. Yeah Navy ships are friendly as long as your not a go-fast or a gun boat lol.

    They are not shooting Moby Dick… They are shooting the Kracken.

    I like this video, never got the chance to see the Cole. My dad was on USS Yorktown when she was bombed.
