I cant even imagine a nitwit group like the Iranians attacking a U.S. naval vessel.....talk about a suicide mission!!>>>> they have. recently took 11 prisoners captured small vessel. Blew up marines in Beirut. blew up uss cole.
The Cole was docked and the 15 captured were in a tiny vessel patrol type boat....all a far cry from attacking and sinking a U.S. Naval vessel....even a destroyer is a formidable weapon system and could be challenged by VERY few countries on Earth and Iran isn't one of them. Retaliation would be swift and overwhelming.
