@Crick1952 Ripper cheated in the exercise by making the simulation allow swarms of small ships carry several tons of missiles and launching systems they could not carry in real life, and the initial blow to Bluefor was done when the simulation "teleported" ships into combat without Bluefor being ready and too close to react. Their defenses were also turned down because the Navy only had a small shipping lane available to them and if the defenses were turned on they would start locking onto civilian targets in the shore or in other lanes. A reset is natural, if you have a certain number of days you scheduled to perform exercises and you lose in the first hours, you reset and continue to make use of the days you scheduled. The reason Ripper was told to follow certain rules was because he was purposefully sabotaging the exercises. At one point one of the generals involved cited the example that they only had 36 hours to use transport airplanes for a troop drop exercise. But Ripper wanted to use chemical weapons to make sure the exercise wouldn't happen. The Bluefor generals said that if they had the time, they would have allowed the chemical weapons to be used, waited for the simulation to allow for the dispersion of the chemicals and then do the drop. But they didn't have enough time, they could only use the airplanes according to schedule and had to restrict Ripper's moves or else he'd fuck up the exercise by not actually allowing anyone to train.

The witnesses in the ship claim they were hit by projectile weapons, not limpet mines.
