The people of God fight spiritual u fools
I don't see any large cells for the missles, just the 40to50mm gun on the front. No radar either.
Internally it has 8 subsonic and 8 supersonic AShM plus Mk32 torpedoes at port and starboard. This is a nasty little fucker.
Remember it only took a few destroyers to push back a large Japanese strike group in the Pacific during WWII. Battle of the Philippines I believe.
