USS Ponce (AFSB(I) 15) Deploys to 5th Fleet with first shipboard Laser weapon
« on: November 15, 2014, 10:51:03 AM »




The amphibious transport ship USS Ponce has been patrolling with a prototype 30-kilowatt-class Laser Weapon System since late August, according to officials. The laser is mounted facing the bow, and can be fired in several modes -- from a dazzling warning flash to a destructive beam -- and can set a drone or small boat on fire.
