Iran has a fake aircraft carrier. The vessel sat damaged for years, but it appears to be back in action, meaning its time for the country's armed forces to start trying to sink it again.
Satellite images provided to Insider by Planet Labs and first reported by Defense One show that Iran appears to have completed or be close to completing repairs to its mock flattop, a painted barge resembling a US Navy Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, after damaging it during target practice in 2015.

I thought these people were supposed to be "Cyber Smart"? Why do they think we and their people are all idiots?
The picture at the site is hysterical.
It doesn’t shoot back
“a painted barge resembling a US Navy Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, after damaging it during target practice in 2015.”
Man, let’s give up. We cant win this..
It’s sole purpose is to be a “confidence builder.”
They just want us all dead from laughing!
It was a cool video
Very realistic. Wondering what its power plant looks like.
And it doesn’t have escorts.
“They just want us all dead from laughing!”
And yet we’re supposed to spend tens of billions of taxpayer dollars to counter the “threat” from this laughably weak country.
At the same time that our government says there won’t be enough money for you to collect Social Security.
We tried to sink one of our decommissioned carriers, the USS America, to turn it into an artificial reef anchor mechanism. It proved to be a monumental task.
The thing refused to sink for the longest time. All attempts to sink it by attacking it externally failed.
We finally had to have a demolition team rig it from within before she finally went down.
Sorry, Iran but you are better at targeting your own commercial aircraft than you are fake American aircraft carriers
We should destroy it for them.
The USS Potempkin?...................
“We should destroy it for them.”
Here... let me get that for you... lol
Ping.
That would be funny but wait till the finish the repairs.
Let them finish it and then we could practice a MOAB on it.
Thank you Tehran Jose for sharing today Iran’s viewpoint
But these bumbling boobs are responsible for devastating cyber attacks? How?
We NUKED a carrier built in the late 1920’s.... bikini still....it took 2 nukes to sink that old tub..... anyone who says a backward nation can sink one is high on drugs.....an exocet slammed into an aluminum hulled destroyer and didn’t sink that..
