This is a link to the zumwalt class destroyer, currently being designed by the us navy to be equipped with a rail gun. The rail gun prototype currently working can fire 220 miles and requires 32 Mega-joules of electrical energy.
So, my though was:
given the nature of a rail gun (a projectile propelled by incredibly strong alternating electromagnets), would these one day be used in space warfare?
