It was originally designed to run on guided missile destroyers in the US Navy. Not sure if it was ever used for that, but it explains the scrupulous attention to testing.

  That would be in contrast to the blessing, not the license.

    It wouldn't be in contrast to anything. Destroying a guided missile is probably an act of self defence, hence likely to be considered good by the author.

      No. A "guided missile destroyer" is a type of ship that sends out guided missiles to hit targets, not the other way around. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroyer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroyer

      It was not intended for the weapons system, which is a completely different beasts. There are many other things for a destroyer (which is a type of ship) to do.

    If you are building a guided missle or the destroyer it launches from, you are doing so because you believe it to be good and not evil to have a strong military defense. And the best defense is a good offense or something like that, I don't really follow sports.
