I had a friend once demonstrate a proof of concept for an emp bomb. It really is the easiest shit to make and scale up. These big digital battleships are a huge liability.
They're already wrapped in a half-inch of steel. Sure they aren't perfect Faraday cages, but it'd take one hell of an EMP to fuck up their systems (that are designed to be more resistant to such than consumer electronics). Maybe some rooms/areas are Faraday caged too?

Why don't they use emp shielding? Too heavy?
