One of the potential military options that Trump will reportedly be considering is a “short and powerful” wave of airstrikes…
Of course any new attack by the U.S. will likely provoke a very strong response from the Iranians.
In fact, one Iranian official is pledging that there would be “long and painful strikes” in retaliation…

I think the carriers are basically far enough away to be in another time zone, due to the danger posed by “defeated” Iran.

oh if Iran love a chinky missile at an American warship, they’re screwed. They get hit by u.s. and the Jews. But it would certainly draw things out to become long and painful. Trump is concerned with markets. markets don’t like long and painful

Well, at least Chinese missiles should be able to find their targets thanks to the guidance system technology the Clintons gave them.

Why is it the Navy can't afford to do battle and take hits like the other services?
Unlike the other services USN ships are DESIGNED TO TAKE HITS AND KEEP FIGHTING OR PROCEED TO A TENDER OR WORSE CASE A SHIPYARD. Sinking ships requires underwater damage.

Gee Wiz Beaver, I wonder if the Navy ever thought about the threat from incoming missiles? Maybe someone should tell them.

Article sounds like BS from Michael Snyder. Iran threatens a lot of things but can’t do nothing. All they have left is bluster and the weak sisters in the western world to tremble at their words.

well, the Iranians have plenty of oil money left, and the chinamen are more than happy to supply the tech they stole from us
To: MarlonRando
You overestimate the ability of Iran and China in this. We are currently putting them to the test and they haven't done nothing. All I see on here from posters is articles about what if's. The US is doing action and nothing so far suggest Iran and China can challenge. That is the reality.
To: Sirius Lee
A couple weeks ago huge planes from China flew into Iran and I would imagine supplied Iran with some new boom boom toys.

If that was the case. We would have picked up and left by now.

The Iranians have been around for thousands of years. They know how to cause sh$&.

It takes more than a missile strike to SINK a modern CVN. Puts it out of action, though. We need to find the launch points for those missiles and destroy them pre-launch.

CIWS means never having to say “I’m sorry”. Takes out incoming missiles if the escorts didn’t get them first.
