American submarine captains are likely drawing lots to see who gets first shot at it.

If we still had an Old Perry Class around it won’t even be a fair fight.

Good Lord.

What a piece of junk.

RCS as large as the Sears Building makes this the easiest target to find and destroy.

I remember the gulf war and reading that Iraq had 4,000 tanks. so I figured we had Superior tanks and would probably lose about 500 or so while destroying the 4,000.

The losses directly attributed to Iranian attacks? More like five.

I wonder if there has ever been a more lopsided battle in history

“...More like five ...”

Weren’t they lost to IEDs and not to tank rounds?

LOL a Tanker decked over and painted gray. Maximum speed about 15 Knots, no deck elevator to service helos or bring up munitions. No Deck refueling apparatus. LOL big slow nothing. Typical Iranian Propaganda. Could sink it with a Speedboat with a few RPGs.

My God that makes it even more humiliating for Iraq.

I read on some website about the strategies and tactics used and I know nothing about warfare but it was pretty fascinating.

Our guys know what they are doing. I wouldn’t want to go up against them.

Like Mike Tyson said, everybody has a plan until they get hit.

“Oceangoing warship capable of carrying aircraft” is it an ... aircraft carrier?

“The naval fleet of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has received a domestically-built ocean-going warship capable of carrying aircraft, drones and missile defense systems.”

They actually mean, carrying aircraft, drones and missile defense systems to the BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

A helicopter and four speed boats? This is their “aircraft carrier?”
