Operational battleships would be newsworthy.

Did anyone read the whole article? If true there is breaking news here. It says way down the article..
“The main naval exercise comes as President Barack Obama is scheduled to meet Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, today to discuss the Iranian crisis.”
This is The Telgraph which I assume at the time posted at the link is for tomorrows edition.
Are Barry and Benji meeting tomorrow and we don’t know about it?

Thanks mandaladon.
Western leaders are convinced that Iran will retaliate to any attack by attempting to mine or blockade the shipping lane... A blockade would have a catastrophic effect on the fragile economies of Britain, Europe the United States and Japan, all of which rely heavily on oil and gas supplies from the Gulf.

Really, Ok
I just think that they have a more enlightened view on what we do in
America, so they don’t pull punches when it concerns us.
I might be wrong, and i do know that their policies at home are rather stupid.
they just give me a viewpoint on american politics, as they don’t have to kiss up to obama
thanks for the input!
Blessings, bobo

I didn’t realize until I read a history of Ireland prior to visiting there just how truly beastly the English have been to the Irish, most of all Lizzie the First and Cromwell. Sort of puts the Troubles into perspective.

One of those should parked off Benghazi actively doing urban renewal with 16 inch & 5 inch shell fire.

You are correct, but the Pustule on the Potomac has no one fit for such actions. Not any in authority, anyway.

They saw Battleships in a movie so it must be true.

Armada of British naval power massing in the Gulf British Armada? Not in this century.
Did the Brits finally perfect the Way-Back machine?

What will happen to the ships if Israel is forced into an EMP attack?
That might be obama’s plan. He’s got jihadists on the military bases in Afghanistan picking off US soldiers.

Battleships, aircraft carriers, minesweepers and submarines from 25 nations are converging on the strategically important Strait of Hormuz
Battleships????
Those are all razor blades or museums these days. Heck the Brits don't even have a CV in service any more. The Russians have some battle cruisers, but those definitely wont' be on our side in this fight.
