Better to sit in port than to be blown out of the water at sea.
The blockade running bitch doesn’t know she is not on 15th street in DC. She is in a war. She is a combatant in a blockade runner
Two that the Jew-hating, commie, terrorist sympathizers discovered. Who knows what other “mechanical issues” the Fatwa Flotilla might encounter at sea?
I hope they are strong swimmers. :-)
Well, maybe when the flotilla is close (into the restricted area) some torpedoes with North Korean markings could come out of nowhere.
And then we could say that we will send a strongly worded letter to the NK’s about civility.
That would put different spin on things.
It would move, but it would vibrate and brake the prop off, doubt if it could sink the boat.
The Israelis should come out with a statement claiming that they performed a marine survey on the ships and determined that any use of the ships would endanger the crew/passengers, and thus they undertook a humanitarian mission to prevent a nautical tragedy.
Disabling a docked boat from leaving the dock, doesn’t put anybody at risk.....watta buncha drama-queens!
I fully support Israel even if they sink these pirates. However, damage to a shaft can sling a prop right into the hull of a vessel and/or rip out a strut. Shaft and prop damage can and have most definitely sunk many a boat.
Israeli saboteurs have carried out underwater “terrorist” attacks
If only they would blow up the ships.
By inducing critical failure damage that causes the ship to blow into smitherees after losing that last hit point. Everything is a game for those morons, remember?
They literally do think people are too stupid to get out of the way.
That happened to Rachel Corey you know ~ she really was too stupid to get out of the way.
They can never learn.
Interesting. Maybe they were interrupted before cutting all the way through it - who knows? I still think if the team really wanted to sink this ship, they’d have done it, already having access as they did to the propeller and shaft.
unfortunately An Wright is our own home-grown idiot and traitor
I hope the IDF ‘gets lucky ‘
How would it move/vibrate with the shaft cut?
Especially if it was cut near the hull?
Yes. If a strut were to rip out, it could cause the vessel to sink.
However, if the shaft was cut completely through, then the vessel is disabled and would not be able to leave the dock and no possibility for sinking would exist.
Cutting the shaft completely through would be a safe and effective way to disable the ship.
And they were expecting something else?
Might be the IDF wants to merely mess with the heads of the Gaza bound freaks and getting them to wonder if they will be next.
If true, I am sorry was discovered before they were well underway at sea.
