The USN is officially Bad-Ass when they launch one of those Dr. Evil penis missiles from a boomer.

An X-47B plane nicknamed "Salty Dog 502" touched down on the USS George H.W. Bush, off the coast of Virginia, in a so-called arrested landing, a maneuver designed for making a quick stop on a flight deck.

Today's feat follows the success of X-47B's earlier tests at sea, including nine touch-and-go landings aboard the USS George H. W. Bush in May, in which the plane would touch down on the runway without coming to a full stop before taking off again. The plane, which is made by Northrop Grumman, also completed arrested landings on a mock flight deck on land ahead of today's milestone.
Thanks for the follow up article Jim Richards.

you can also undertake missions w/o risking the life of an American
Until some bad guy hacks the software/communications... then our own weapons will be used against us.
