If it wasn't hardened, I see no reason why it wouldn't, it runs on electricity after all. One would hope that most modern military equipment is hardened against such things though, especially something like a sea borne vessel which would be hard to repair if at sea and not in dock.

Hey, they can't build the F-35 correctly either so no great loss. ROTFLMFAO

Oh, and I'm also laughing at your camo USN. It should be rust, grease, paint, chili mac, battery acid stain colored if you really want to hide something.

I wonder if this is all some kind of mass pysops. Planes don't work, aircraft carriers don't work, then someone attacks us then surprise!

But usually you want the enemey to think you have a superior force, not an inferior one.
