WASHINGTON — Engineers at Naval Sea Systems Command are set to begin the next phase of their ongoing plan to test the effectiveness of emerging surface warfare technologies the Navy will never get to employ in actual combat this week, the Command announced.
"For heaven's sake, we don't actually want to ever use these weapons systems in battle," said head of NAVSEA, Vice Adm. William Hilarides. "If we abuse this technology we might accidentally win a war, and that's just an irresponsible use of smart power."
