Were is the fishing boat? All I see is heavily armed Iranian patrol boats.

Iran now has two our latest coastal water boats as well as the layout and comm gear. This goes with there the British boats they captured a while back and the RQ-170 Sentinel that they somehow took control over.

Could we arrange for these downtrodden, impoverished Iranian freedom fighters to accidentally capture say the Truman or may be at least an Aegis equipped destroyer, please mr. musliminchief?

Go to the link for photos and two videos. The two armed vessels are/were ours.

The bass boats with Bimini tops are the Iranians and they seem to have just small arms, unless there was a larger Iranian vessel not pictured, it makes no sense.

Looks like one guy with a rifle and a mounted machine gun in an open fiberglass fishing boat. The US boat has multiple mounted machine guns, and typically a 50 caliber machine gun. Oh, and presumably some armor. And if we didn't have a liberal fool as Commander in Chief, the US boat could call in some help in case of trouble - something like an MH-60 or an F/A-18. There is not much a few guys in a fiberglass boat can do against either aircraft other than run or jump overboard.

The 6th image down on the link has a small boat in the background. Basically a fishing boat.
