U.S. Central Command declared Monday that Iran’s naval presence in the Gulf of Oman has been reduced to “ZERO,” announcing that every Iranian warship operating in the strategic waterway at the outset of Operation Epic Fury has been destroyed as American forces struck more than 1,250 targets in the first 48 hours of the campaign.

Thanks for the link.
I have a ball cap that says US Navy blowing shit up since 1775.

Both.
At the same time.

Somewhere Buck Perry is smiling - new structure for fishing hot spots!
Now destroy the shop yards munitions factories field depots and military as well as civilian harbors.
Mixed feelings about that. Having been a young sailor, (enlisted at 17) I can relate to the young Iranians who signed up to defend their country or simply to have a job at sea. My "war" was the Cuban Missile Crisis, and most of my shipmates and I were pretty apprehensive about the possibility of being torpedoed if TSHTF. And when we pulled into Guantanamo Bay to evacuate military dependents and civvy contractors we were aware that on the other side of that ring of hills was Cuban artillery capable of raining shells down upon us. They undoubtedly knew that they were targets, and I hope they had a "Come to Jesus" moment before they were wiped out.
I totally understand your concern. While I am sure for a few that is the case also a good many are vetted hard and they tend to be of the hardline ideological bent.
“Death to America!!!”
How’s that working out for ya?
It didn't get much press because of the F-15 FF incident yesterday, but Iran's largest Naval Base, Bandar Abbas, was struck yesterday morning. Hard to assess the damage from pics I've seen due to heavy smoke cover.
As the US establishes Air Dominance over the gulf, any surviving ships will be hunted down.
We need to get small arms into the people’s hands who want freedom over there!!
They know who needs cleaned up!!!
As long as Iran is launching missiles, they’re a threat. The only way to finish the job is boots on the ground.
I’m married to a Ginger, but if I wasn’t… Maryann 24/7/365.
Ginger or MaryAnn? Bailey or Jennifer? I believe the correct answer is Ellie May.
Samantha or Jeannie?
“I have a ball cap that says US Navy blowing shit up since 1775.”
I think there are a lot of guys having the time of their lives
blowing things up in the last few days.
I’m so happy for them.
I love men.
Let’s take Kharg Island next. Occupy it
Unfortunately, the report specifically references ships in the Gulf Of Oman, not the Straight of Hormuz. I think that it’s safe to assume that we still have a little work to do to completely wipe out the entire navy, but we are getting there.
I have read in other material that yes! submarines have also been sunk (including mini-subs)
