Things could get real interesting during this administration.

Iranian ship’s captain: “Where is Kerry with the enemy’s coordinates, vulnerabilities and arrays of weaponry and range? We’re in the dark out here without his help.”

With this fraudulent administration and unicorn roa, the Navy Captain probably had to use nerf guns...

Weak president. Now we can bully those American pigs and sons of apes!

Did Trump's ROE's allow it? I don't recall us engaging with Iran under Trump, but may have forgotten.

A warning shot should be to sink the first one!

They’ll do this several times. Back off after warning.

Then one day, they’ll make the full-run. Not exactly the USS Cole but with similar results.

“Swarm” tactics.

Actually very effective.

Yes, very effective. They’ll go for a prize.

I don’t think they’ll get a carrier but swarming will be very effective. They should all be fired up, at a minimum of 200 yards, IMHO.

And even then, you can bet they’ll try to overwhelm however many Phalanx mounts there are by multiple angles.

At 40mph that is less than 4 seconds from impacting the ship.

But first you need to send over a counselor to discuss the situation with the Iranian captain and defuse the situation so that we don't have another tragic shooting of an unarmed black man by a racist white cop international incident.

Did they check with "Jon Effin' Carry" first, they're all his buddies.
