Look, you are the one who thought Israel had aircraft carriers.

You also said they have a force of 15,000-20,000 men at sea ready to invade (like a Marine assault)

1] 20,000 men is a division strength unit. How many ships hold these men?

2] What class of ships?

3] Who built the ships?

4] How much armor is on the ships?

5] Munitions? Fuel?

6] How long are thee 20,000 men at sea? Is there a second set of 20,000 men ready to rotate when the tour is up?

7] You mentioned 1000 missiles on-board the ships. What kind of missiles? Who built them? Performance data please?

8] You mentioned "warships". What class? What armaments? Who built them?

9] What port do they debark from?

10] You mentioned artillery. What do they do--mount artillery on flattops them fire artillery into enemy territory?

11] How is this fleet protected. Without aircraft carriers, how is this large fleet protected? Do they have Aegis cruisers?

For somebody who claimed Israel has multiple aircraft carriers, I think you need to give source data to back up your Breaking News claims about Israel's military. My humble opinion is you don't know the SLIGHTEST what you are talking about--aircraft carriers is but one example.

As I stated I was wrong about Israel having Aircraft Carriers. The conversation was not built on the premise of what Israel has, although they do have a good Navy with warships, frigates and destroyers and plenty of missiles and large guns and a deployable force of 15,000 (granted not all currently deployed, my bad) and even a Navy Base at the Red Sea, it was about getting to Iran contrary to your notion that Israel can't get there.
Corrections are accepted but if you're going to quote me be very accurate and if your going to accuse me of doing drugs or having mental problems you better have some proof to back your allegation.
