Iranian Submarine Lost While Practicing To Sink U.S. Aircraft Carrier

In the Persian Gulf there are rumors that one of Iran's Ghadir mini-subs sank while practicing tactics for attacking an American Nimitz class carrier.

It was believed that a recently built two-thirds replica of an American Nimitz class aircraft carrier would be towed out so the Ghadir could get some experience in how to approach such a large ship and launch torpedoes at it.

The rumored loss of a Ghadir was accompanied by talk of some new stealth technology on the Ghadir. That is probably just rumor as the small size of the Ghadir already confers a substantial amount of stealthiness.

This purported stealth technology is supposed to explain why Iranian salvage ships are not out looking for the sunken Ghadir as that activity would tell foreigners where, approximately, the sub went down.

So...we sank an Iranian sub and never fired a shot?

This is good stuff right dere.

The will of allah is strong, stronger than sub steel it seems.

[fella]

Sounds like they were practicing for what will really happen if they try to attack one of our carrier groups.

its those faulty western propulsive rubber bands they bought.

I know there's a reason submarines aren't supposed to have screen doors, but maybe the Iranian navy thought they could add such an innovation using this product:

Apparently that stealth tech works really, REALLY well...

Vessel in question:

Pretty fugly and even on batteries looks to have a good deal of noisy additions to the hull.

[taildragger]

Either 1, that sub is now sitting in drydock in Israel or 2, the sub is sitting in the hull of a US warship, on it’s way back to Norfolk. Or 3, no such sub exists.

Well played my friend, well played...

[moovova]

Will the sub crew members get 72 virgin mermaids each?

[csvset]

It is named after Ghadir Khumm

Sounds gay.

LOL

[Bailee]

Why would the USA or Isreal care. That think looks almost WW2 vintage.

Probably sprung a leak and sunk.

[Celtic Conservative]

That thing should sound like a Buick going through the water. Stealthy my ass.

Bwahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[RedMDer]

Opened the moon-roof to pray?

[Enterprise]

The Iranians would love to sink an American Carrier, regardless of the cost to the crews. It would be a SHTF scenario on the scale of Pearl Harbor. Now, not to be cynical, and suggest that the sinking of an American Carrier could ever be a false flag operation, but Obama’s Presidency is tanking. I’ll leave it at that.

Them SOBs got a couple Kilo class subs?
