I thought that was only really an issue if the fiber was damaged in any way. (It would create a point where the external light could refract into the core) Then again, there isn’t going to be a sheath on that cable and its not exactly a sterile environment.
Meh, I’m an idiot and that’s OK!
You would have to cut the fiber or hope the pulsed laser melts it.
90% of the physics aside, this theory is like saying that crossing flashlight beams would cause interference. This is also ignoring the density difference between the fiber and the air.
All things considered, I think we are looking at the new Russian wunderwaffe. Coming to a T-14 near you.
Undesignated blood practically grows on trees, so it’s not like it was a huge sacrifice. Hell, if you sent a baby sailor one compartment over, he would somehow end up in medical with a nose bleed.
Rail guns were supposed to be the brrrrt but now it’s hypersonic missiles?
Totally a missed opportunity for ultrasonics, if you ask me.
Zumwalts are the special little children of the fleet, unfortunately. The hypersonic missiles are probably going to get put on hold for phasers or disruptors or something. Each of the crew is issued a bat’leth, so that is cool.
