Talk about irony!!

Extra bonus irony: The USS Kidd (DDG 100) was the ship that did the rescuing. The *previous* USS Kidd (DDG 993) was originally ordered by the Shah of Iran but unbuilt when the Iranian Revolution overthrew him. The Kidd, and three more like her, were then completed specifically as guided missile destroyers for use in the hot weather of the Med and the Persian Gulf.

“Talk about irony!!”

Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

Heh... I’d like this better had they been in need of rescue because the US Navy had sunk their vessel, but, I take what I can get. ;’) Thanks gleeaikin.

Thinking this AM that some of the mullahs are helping to iron out some of the scientists working on the iran nuke program. For irony see the mullahs who do not want a nuke program.

On the Navy Rescues ... they (the pirates) probably were looking for a ride out of iran.
