In the immortal words of Bruce Lee... Replica ships don’t shoot back.
And why again is our president negoiating with Iran and providing centrifuges? Oh yeah...He IS one of them. We’re the enemy. Forgot...
Pretty easy to do when it doesn’t shoot back.
Some day we are going to hawl back and punch theses jerks in the face which they have deserved since ‘79!

Wonder how long before the Mullahs of Iran get their hands on this technology?
Obama’s Admin will Surrender as soon as they see the Video
I used to shoot targets that looked like Dillinger. Didnt make me Melvin Purvis.
A US Admiral acting as “Red Commander” in a simulation came up with a successful attack on an American carrier group using swarm tactics.
The Pentagon re-did the scenario so the US would win...

Remember what happened to the USS STARK when IRAQ launched an attack to sink a US destroyer back in 1987.

I wouldn’t dismiss them out of hand. My first Naval Reserve Unit was one that ran NAVTAG to train US Navy Officers. My first introduction to the system by the expert doing the training was a simulation where I had 2 American destroyers and the expert had 2 Soviet cruisers and 2 Soviet destroyers.
He steamed SE towards my ships, since he made the scenario and was just going to charge over and blow me out of the water. I picked up a bunch of contacts at the outer edge of radar and immediate sent one ship SW and one NE, with the result that his 4 ships went inbetween where my ships HAD BEEN, apparently puzzling him.
When my 2 ships were outside each other’s missile ranges and his were in the intersection, I fired, basically eliminating the 2 cruisers and eliciting a “f**k” from the other side of the room. I was queuing up a 2nd strike when he ended the simulation... “for lunch”. (Next month the CO recommended me for the OSAM program-—officer reserve program)
Its dangerous to dismiss enemies out of hand.
Super duper scary, did the paper Carrier have return fire capability?
