Motoring into the U.S.'s Pacific testing range near San Nicholas Island off the coast of central California, the ship set its aim at a large inflatable motorboat, moving a mile away. Firing a pulse of light, the experimental laser struck a crippling blow damaging the engines and setting them on fire.

Why do they have to wreck that cool looking boat? Why don't they test on something like a 14' alumacraft with a 7.5 HP outboard. Like mine. I'll trade them straight up.

OT: That sounds like a wonderful anti-pirate weapon.

Write back to me when they start using weaponised atom-lasers. Then we'll be talkin'

I'm honestly a little more interested in the targeting system that allowed the point to become locked on another point a mile away. While both targets we're riding the waves.
