TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- A senior Iranian naval commander says his country has sent several warships to the Atlantic Ocean, close to U.S. maritime borders for the first time.
The commander of Iran's Northern Navy Fleet, Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad, is quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying Saturday that the vessels have already begun the journey to the Atlantic Ocean via waters near South Africa.

Those 6 stick their feet out the back of the vessel to utilize their kick propulsion...and get 5 knots of speed..
A container ship with missle launchers could easily get close enough.
We could use a few more artificial reefs for scuba diving.
“You can bet, theres a Virginia class with firing solutions on ever damn ship.”
And you can bet that they would NEVER get the order to fire.
Obastard would never fire on his fellow travelers.
Del subs are inherently quiet. If your job is to sneak nuclear mines into a country, they’re the tool.
I’d be more concerned about a mini sub with a suitcase.
Your point is well taken. Still, nuke missiles don’t require advanced air craft carriers or large battleships to launch. (And the Iranians have been building longer and longer range missiles these last five years anyway).
To expensive, Navy Seal training exercise and Limpet Mines. Hey I wonder if Henry Limpet is still available for duty?
Used for espionage.
Ironic. I live close to the coast, on an island. I’ve wondered what would happen if say some wacko group of fanatics approached the coast in a large suicide mission, landed, and move ashore here. While some of us have some degree of firepower, we don’t have the ability to withstand a paramilitary assault. Could we count on the central government to repel these invaders? With this joker in charge, I would not wait for it to happen. By the time he decided to do something, they would be approaching Alabama.
Which brings this joke to mind. The inventory manager at Walmart noted there were no available ammo supplies in all the stores in Alabama. He called his state distribution manager and asked why there was no ammo in Alabama. The distribution manager said, have you not heard, the Ruskies took Georgia but they are damn well not going to take Alabama without a strong fight.
If Iran is smart they’ll attack us at 3AM. Nobody answers the phone at that time.
They must still be replacing the screen doors on their Subs.
They might as well of sent two kids in a sail boat with a cell phone!
Those idiots don’t know the US Navy prob knows how many hairs are on the Captains arms>
Probably VZ or Cuba for a fill up.
I’d yell “SINK THE BASTARDS!” but we all know Obama’s nothing more than a muslim ass-kissing marxist who hates the United States of America.
I’ve often wondered, what if the Chi-coms sent a couple of container ships full of troops and supplies to Cali? It would be pretty hard to dislodge them once they got dug in.
They should get into a squall line at night in the middle of the high seas and all just go silent simultaneously as we make them “disappear”...

Looks like they are preparing to launch the dreaded “sofa missile”.
