Well follow-up shots are harder to effect with any rapidity. And from
water, you're on a pitching, rolling and yawing platform trying to hit a
pitching, rolling and yawing platform.

I would argue, that firing an RPG from a boat against another boat is no
EASY subject. Far easier when shooting at a large ship.

Ever fire anything that has a longer time of flight against another
water borne craft? Did you do it on open water and not on a lake or
river?
