"How did the American Navy end up firing upon an Iranian container ship navigating the Gulf of Oman? It began with a standoff, as the Navy delivered repeated warnings over a span of several hours. The final escalation came when multiple rounds were fired into the massive ship, instantly disabling its engines and triggering an internal fire. But how is a modern naval gun capable of firing three explosive rounds in mere seconds? The secret lies below deck: an advanced autoloader backed by a nearly endless magazine of ammunition. Watch how it operates: the system mechanically loads the artillery, fires, and immediately ejects the spent casing. This brings us to the ultimate question: how do military forces physically seize a colossal container ship The Navy relies on the Marines. Deployed from amphibious ships, they rappel down from hovering helicopters to systematically secure and clear the decks."
