Default US navy deploys lasers

Not on sharks

The US navy has deployed its first operational laser weapon, only this time it is not attaching them to sharks.

The Laser Weapons System (Laws), is not science fiction or experimental. It is deployed on board the unfortunately named USS Ponce amphibious transport ship.

It can be used to zap targets today and every day by Capt. Christopher Wells and his crew and it only costs "about a dollar a shot" to fire. So it might be risky to be a seagull in the Persian Gulf at the moment. After all frying seabirds at a distance is a pretty good test of the gear.
