iranian navy sure seems to have an inordinate amount of “bad luck” ...

And Mossad.

Some people just make their own luck. :^)

[roadcat]

Was it the Japanese again?

[SunkenCiv]

Sometimes. I don’t think it was involved with this. But they’ll be happy to just screw with them via “no comment”.

[SunkenCiv]

Nope, it was the Germans, like at Pearl Harbor. It isn’t over until *we* say it is...

[M Kehoe]

That’s a shame.

5.56mm

Nope, it was the Germans, like at Pearl Harbor.

Don't stop now, you're on a roll. Well, at least the warship is on a roll.

[Seruzawa]

Mossad isn’t all powerful. Though they like to cultivate that idea. But the incompetence of mid-east peoples with mechanics and technology is endemic. If you rely on Allah to guide your dry dock ship chocks you are bound for disappointment.

They don't rely as much on local turncoats to gather intel, as was seen when the Iranian nuke program records were raided and shown to the world in a press conference in Israel.

But they also rely on turncoats. And of course, sometimes the despotic neighbors merely claim that someone they're about to execute was a Mossad spy, and it's probably BS. But even that helps them look invincible. How did they recruit *him*?!? Heh...

One of their all-time masterpieces what the hit of that PLO terrorist in Dubai I think it was. Big team, nearly 20 people in the job, apparently all were present during the execution, and instead of garotte wire, the operatives smothered him with the hotel room pillow, which must have taken a while to do. Then they all left the hotel, left the country, and left nothing but a bogus paper trail. And that terrorist didn't even work for the Washington Post.

LOL

Beethover had nine, which means, he won’t be ahead of the Iranian navy for long.

The US and Iran are going to share the oceans — the US takes the top, the Iranians take the bottoms.

[Vermont Lt]

I went to college with a whole slew of Iranian midshipmen.

I would be skeptical about their ability to find the ocean. And they were the smart ones.

[pax_et_bonum]

That’s hilarious.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

. Since it is in dry dock, it looks like it merely fell off the cribbing/supports on one side...

Yep, she's off the cradles. Normally when that happens one option is fill the well and let the ship right itself. If it ends up in a 45 degree list with people dangling off the handrails, it's possible that something isn't quite right...just guessing on that part...

oh, too bad...

:^) That may be cultural; the Romans maintained seagoing trade with India for centuries, and a lot of it, but the Persian/Parthian threat on the seas seems to have been pretty small.
