Flare today, gone tomorrow
It's from another duty of the Typhoon
Oh wait, that’s the US boat! Then it has real guns, and Gilligan would be toast.
Looks like the genset injectors could use some work.
I’m guessing from the crew in whites and the large ensign they are returning from an extended underway.
Thanks. Kind of tiny. I thought my Dad’s WWII DDE was small.
Nope. Too similar to the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Starting with the Hostage crises moving on to their forging of US currency their support to terrorists etc etc etc we have plenty of Casus belli, our political class has always lacked the will to act on them.
Its got 2 25mm chain guns. Will destroy anything that floats that is not armored.

Wonder what they use for aux power. I really miss the detroit x71 motors.
THE LEADING MODERATOR OF FR JUST KILLED NEWS FROM JPOST SAYING THAT AN UPCOMING REPORT WAS ABOUT TO BE PUBLISHED STATING THAT SADDAM WMDS HAD BEEN MOVED TO SYRIA.
AS FREEREPUBLIC DOESN’T WANT TO SPREAD THE STORY (?!), PLEASE GO TO LITTLE GREEN FOOTBALLS WHERE THE STORY HAS BEEN SHOWN :
It will be a truely sad day when they finally take a shot and we lose 1 single life or damage a ship. If its a matter of not wanting to show our capabilities we should fly something in and destroy them. Letting them again and again, act provacatively within 200 yards is just insane.
How long before the phrase “Gulf of Tonken” comes up?

Couldn’t tell you. I went aboard one once but being a QM I was most interested in the pilothouse.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards trying to do the same thing to the USN that it did to Her Majesty’s Royal Navy.
Whut?
AS FREEREPUBLIC DOESN’T WANT TO SPREAD THE STORY (?!),
Stop spamming threads with this. FR carried the story last Monday (4/7):
Sounds like a good time to invest in glass bottom boats as Iran will need plenty after this so they can see their navy.
