The Iranians did a version of the Star Trek Tholian web tactic using mines deployed by speed boats to box in the mock up. The 2nd stage was small rockets launched from speed boats. The coup d' grace was delivered by cruise and ballistic missiles.

Did the barge have defensive weapons? Did it take any evasive action?

The Iranians sure obsess on getting one of our carriers. It would be a massive psychological triumph if they got one. We have not lost a carrier since WWII.
To: C19fan
See we have nothing to worry about by giving the Iranians nuclear capabilities. I don’t know why our side is so worried about this. Oh brother. How can any American can say he or she feels safe if these nutcases get access to nuclear energy?

I didn’t see any aircraft shooting the shiite out of their stuff.

Stupid exercise.
They’d never come close to accomplishing even nicking a Carrier.
The support ships, embedded aircraft and anti-everything gun and missile systems would turn their armed forces into pink dust...

But dont panic. The exerciseknown as Great Prophet 9didnt factor in American escort warships and warplanes responsible for defending real carriers. It was mostly just for show.
In the next exciting episode of Jihadi Junkyard Wars!

That whole Iranian version of the Tholian web is bat **** crazy. When has a navy deployed mines to box in a ship like that?

“But Iran could intend this tactic as a means to disable critical self-defense systems, such as radars, Phalanx CIWS self-defense cannons and missile launchers.”
Uhmmm....sure...

Couldn’t happen in real life.
This is just an idiotic fantasy to boost to the confidence of their bi-plane operators, buoy their synthetic egos ....I could go on and on but, this will be “The Final Countdown” ala the movie in 1980
barely an exercise of target practice for our boys and systems...
