” A water leak caused the warship to “lose its balance,” “

Isn’t that how all ships sink?

Leak: Water getting into something that is supposed to be waterproof.

Firan should have been sent back to the 7th century in January 1980.

How in the }{€££ does a ship roll over in a Drydock ?

Whoever was in charge of the Blocking needs a refresher school.

How does a ship -—roll over in drydock? Weren’t you watching he movie? The Mullers showed you how to do it. But never mind them. Regardless of proper blocking the ship should have been off-loaded of ballast water and fuel before docking. Just for instance, if BigMo was doing some op, moving water around and overloaded one side that could easily have crushed the blocks on one side and created a whoopsie. It’s in chapter 69 of the muzzie naval maintenance manual, close to the part about DFW the US Navy.

Iran has its problems similar to those in this country and Israel for that matter.

My classic saying applies to American men but I compare Iranian and Israeli men:

“Iranian men and Israeli men both like to go to Bangkok and Phuket in Thailand”
