"so their winged smoke bombs work against a plywood mockup that does not fight back." Reminds me of another nation that practiced against wooden mockups of US ships...

Point taken. We do the same and the Chinese have carrier shapes on land that their planes use for bombing practice.

This appeared to be more propaganda for Iranian consumption than practical threat. Yes, you can take a PT boat and do a suicide run at a carrier. There are screening destroyer that would probably resolve that problem. Ass reg45 states if they ever did sink a carrier it would only result in missle attacks from submarines.
