We need another war to see if modern navy is actualy fire proof. Personally i doubt it. The war ships still have to be filled full with ammo in order to shoot the bad guys.
And when any battery on ship gets hit, all the ammo there will go off in a violent fashion.

More like explosion suppression. Also dont forget all armies around world are developing anti armor rounds...
This is an outrage. We could have had an extra week of immigration for that money.
>And when any battery on ship gets hit, all the ammo there will go off in a violent fashion.
iirc ammo is far more compartmentalised in modern ships, like it is in modern tanks meaning it is harder to get it to go off and it wil fuck up the ship less if it does
modern munitions are also less prone to unintended activation than old ones
but yes, there is not enough practical experience to say if what has been attemped will actually work
>explosion suppression
an explosion is just a really fast fire desu
