It's rather well known that you don't want to be standing nearby when somebody flies by at >Mach 1.

And I wouldn't want to be on the deck of a cargo ship facing a storm in international waters. Which is why even an ordinary commercial vessel is going to have glazing that is far more robust than a dining hall.

They're hardly mild, and communication gear and radars aren't the most robust pieces of kit in any Navy.

No, but I imagine they're designed to at least withstand the forces inflicted by a jet merely doing a flyby. It seems like wishful thinking to posit that a military vessel's equipment can be disabled by an enemy aircraft just flying by, without them even firing a shot. Surely they're designed to be robust enough to withstand that?
