US Guided Missile cruiser hit by drone!

Sorry, I don't get this. WTF would anyone be stupid enough to allow a drone with "live" ammo attack a target that has real soldiers on it?

Surely you use it to attack a derelict ship?

Or rig it up with paintballs or similar.

I don't know more than anyone else here, but I think that some are getting a little too excited over what happened with the USS CHANCELLORSVILLE (CG-62). Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar; a training incident is a training incident.
