Yeah right. I’d just love to understand how their supply chain is going to work to support that with food, fuel, and most importantly, ships parts when some equipment breaks down. They have no ability for underway replishment like the US Navy.
that’s “replenishment”
I’m sure Obama would invite them into Norfolk for whatever supplies they need.
By gad, Sir, that IS serious. Issue every member of the Larchmont Yacht Club a Smith and Wesson .45, and smoke bombs. All committee boats to be issued live ammunition for their starting guns. Make'em count, fellows! Also let it be known far and wide, that even if an Iranian Naval Vessel is on the starboard tack, they shall not, SHALL NOT call for right of weigh (or however that is spelled in this instance). I also suggest we re-number all inshore marks. (heh-heh ... that'll f'emup!)
If they intend to enter the Chesapeake, we may have to limit hours at Annapolis drinking establishments. This, this is war!
Relax. I know the Straits of Hormuz, and you simply cahn't get heah from theah.
Cuba.
They’ll probably come into US ports for repair and resupply.
Food and fuel from Venezuela and probably Cuba. Spare parts from North Korea, so they’ll be hurting there...
I wonder how much of an oil slick their navy will leave on our shores. On the other hand, the “man made reefs” will foster sea life.
