Thom Shanker, Navy to Deploy Laser Weapon in Persian Gulf; Sea trials for a $32 million protype seem to be intended to warn Iran. New York Times, Apr 9, 2013
("The laser will not be operational until next year")

My comment: I am surprised by the quotation. My impression was the laser simply is not powerful enough even to burn a hole on any part (even plastic) of a stationary (non-moving) patrol boat.
