According to my sources they're even more technologically advanced than we thought.
After we fire our first volley their new destroyer actually converts into a submarine ...

Strange looking ship. The missile launcher and the mismatched turrets are extremely large compared to the rest of the ship.

I must post before I read:
“He further stressed that his troops are closely monitoring military moves of trans-regional powers in the region, and said, “No move in the Sea of Oman, the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormoz could remain hidden from our eyes. The naval force is in full control over the region and monitors all the military moves of the enemies in the region.”
LOL! We don’t want to be hidden. I will now take entries into the Iran war pool. How long will these vessels last after hostilities start? I expect them both to be gone in two days.

When the submarine is unable to surface, I hope we can render aid.

this is going to be very dangerous, lethal submarine (for the unlucky sailors trapped inside).

They’d be safer sticking to camels which have a smaller IR profile and limited RF signature compared to these new “boats”

LONDON - The US military has stepped up chartering of tankers and requests for extra fuel in the US Central Command area, which includes the Gulf, shipping and oil industry sources say.
A Gulf oil industry source said the charters suggested there would be high naval activity, possibly including a demonstration to Iran that the US Navy will protect the Strait of Hormuz oil shipping route during tensions over Teherans nuclear programme.
Things that makes you say...”HMMMmmmmmmmm”
