Iran Attacked Three Ships at Once – 24 Minutes Later, All Four Batteries and Their Headquarters….lh

The three ships’ Aegis systems began coordinating, connecting their fire control computers to divide targets and maximize their defensive effectiveness.

At 14:17:22, the first SM-2 missiles were launched in response, with a total of 20 interceptors deployed against the eight incoming threats.

The math favored the defenders, and by 14:18:41, the first intercepts occurred.

The Meyer successfully destroyed two of the three missiles targeting her, while the Antidum managed to take out two of its three incoming threats as well.

However, the Constellation faced challenges; as a newer frigate, her combat systems were capable but less sophisticated than those of the Aegis destroyers and cruisers.
