Two Iranian warships set sail Tuesday for the Atlantic Ocean on their navy's first-ever mission there, state TV reported.
The voyage comes amid an ongoing push by Iran to demonstrate the ability to project power across the Middle East and beyond.
The report said that the destroyer Sabalan and the logistic helicopter carrier Khark will be dispatched on a three-month voyage.
"The warships will have task of securing shipping routes as well as training new personnel," the semi-official Fars news agency quoted Iran's navy chief Admiral Habibollah Sayyari as saying.

Well put Frank, but even with your quote from FM 24-1, it will have no effect on the chuckleheads on this thread. They will stay immature, ill-educated and unrepentant in triumphing their stupidity as a self-aggrandizing badge of pride they can giggle on and chuckle over between themselves.
As we both know so well, you can lead a fool to knowledge, but you cannot make him think—
there is homemade protection you can use to protect your brains from any further brain damage:
The above childish drivel prove my point express in Post #58:

"As we both know so well, you can lead a fool to knowledge, but you cannot make him think"
And sadly, Frank, this schmuck thinks such infantile rubbish makes him clever.
Oh so true. Punkish chumpism has become an ersatz substitute for true wit since the preemnence of fodder like “Jackass.” This jive makes the 3 Stooges seem droll.
When was the last time you had a cashier that had to look at the printout of the receipt to know how much change to give you back?
With me it was earlier today at Walmart, the at Brookshires, then at HEB and lastly at Denny's--
This conversation piqued my interest so I did my own search and will dump this here for anyone who wants to read it. I’ll not get involved in any flame-throwing, though. I’m simply passing through and have no interest in any silly insults; life is just too short. :-)
Gauging the Threat of an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack | Stratfor - 2010

This one pretty much said the no one KNOWS for sure what physical damage a HEMP would do if launched from a missile launcher hidden on a ship “just off the coast.” They reason we really are not sure because it has been so long since an EMP bomb was tested. The article mainly addresses the attack scenario from a geopolitical standpoint, but so much has changed in our country since 2010, that to me, this article is no longer accurate. For one thing, it’s based on the assumption that our leaders would conduct an immediate and massive retaliatory strike. Ha. If anything, our treasonous pResident would be calling in GPS coordinates to them to achieve maximum damage to the Bible-toting gun-clingers in middle America.
Too much geopolitical garbage and very short on science.
