@KittyKittyBoy17 Harder but not anymore improbable. We already have the tracking systems on phalanx to bear gun bores in line at 2 miles , not to mention blasting mortars and other munitions out of the sky ...its not a big deal to track and maintain a target lock on a moving boat...the beam already travels at the speed of light anyway ...and the turret is no doubt under computer control with the capability to make all the necessary real time adjustments.
Digidice.......try launching a satellite into a perfect orbit around the earth, try firing cruise missiles through open windows 100s of miles away....oh wait they do it all the time. The systems needed to do that are just like the systems that allow tanks to fire while moving no matter what the terrain. It's really not a difficult problem for engineers AT ALL.
Colourmegone, lasers work against reflective surfaces. It is done everyday at machine shops all across the country. Steel, aluminum, stainless steel, reflective cut just fine so your very misinformed. The black surfaces are probably plastic engine covers and may have been one of the best flammable targets. That is more likely the reason for targeting. You can burn holes in metal but it will not erupt in flames.
I work for the Navy. We'd like to offer you jobs - we just can't find enough smart people like you, people who know nothing about what we are doing, have no qualifications, yet can spot the problems instantly from merely watching a video clip. Our PhDs didn't think of any of the issues that you three geniuses raise.
Note that the demonstration focuses on the black object on the back of the boat. This is because lasers are not effective against reflective surfaces and require a dark target to have any effect. This is why "Star Wars" never worked. all the Soviets would have had to do was paint their missiles white or shield them with reflective foil. This is a staggering waste of money, time and resources.

Good luck trying that in an boat that goes 40 knots, jumping on the waves ans swinging.
