The U.S. Navy's latest in**vation comes in the form of a 23-pound projectile that can fly at seven times the speed of sound, and it will be ready for testing at sea by 2016.

That's fast e**ugh to travel from New York City's Empire State Building to Philadelphia's Liberty Bell in 180 seconds. The projectile can punch through three walls of reinforced concrete and annihilate just about anything it smashes into. It moves so quickly, in fact, that it doesn't require a triggered explosion on impact; its sheer force is e**ugh to destroy its targets.
