A commander in Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Wednesday that a commando unit has engraved the military organization's emblem into the side panel of an American warship stationed in the Persian Gulf.

Nur Ali Shushkari, the head of the Revolutionary Guards ground forces, told Iranian pro-government news agencies that the symbol was etched onto the ship by the crew of a submarine that had managed to reach the U.S. vessel without detection by radar.

Except it probably was a decommissioned WWII era destroyer or mine sweeper sold to Yemen or Egypt.

"submarine that had managed to reach the U.S. vessel without detection by radar."

Subs aren't found with RADAR, they're found with SONAR.

They can't even lie correctly.

If true, this is certainly worrisome. However, IRG is not exactly most reliable source of information...

I'm not so good on hadji script.

Does this flag script translate to:
"Power comes from the barrel of a gun, ask our voters"?
or
"Dude, look at this cool gun I got from Russia, err, China, err, made it myself"?

" . . . . crew of a submarine that had managed to reach the U.S. vessel without detection by radar.

Very true. If the submarine is submerged, it won't be detected by radar. SONAR is a different deal and, unless the ship was docked, no deck watch was set and the crew asleep or on liberty (all situations that are in stricy violation of USN regulations), I believe that this is just more Iranian blather and muslim BS!!
