Do it

[billyboy15]

I like this and I hope the Commanders have a very open ended view of what constitutes harassment. Also there should be no warning shots. One announcement (official) that any Iranian boat coming within 500 yards of an American ship will be sunk without any prior warning.

All your Boston Whalers are belong to us....

[SaxxonWoods]

Yes, it’s time.

[realcleanguy]

It’s about time

[SIDENET]

Just consider it a live-fire exercise.

Great training.

[Bell Bouy II]

It will be like swatting Sketers

[redfreedom]

I can see it now. The leftist media complex is already creating a narrative for the first naval battle sinking an Iranian boat. All they need now is for it to happen so they can alter the facts to fit the narrative.

Who knows, maybe Pencil Neck can use a sinking in another attempt to sink Trump’s Presidency?

[real saxophonist]

Remember the Cole!

[davidb56]

It should have already been done. I don’t understand why the CIC has to order warships to protect themselves. Trump shouldn’t have to make ALL the decisions for them. They had no problem taking out a Iranian General without his prior knowledge....according to both the MSM and Conservative Alternative news.

Now that should be good training for the Navy.

We have a new platform on station: AC-130W Stinger II

Make your move.

[LibWhacker]

YES!!!

Too bad he gave them a warning, though.

[Wildbill22]

God I love this president!

[Rannug]

We already have Apaches there. Give them free rein over the oceans.

[Sequoyah101]

I hope they get lots of video when the Navy destroys them.

Hopefully the crews will be better than the ones that have wrecked two destroyers and the captain more composed than the one on the Roosevelt.

At least they have a few Marines around as backup when the Navy can’t get the job done.

including multiple crossings of one ship, the Puller,

The Puller... that be Chesty Puller

Lt. Gen. Lewis "Chesty" Puller was a Marine’s Marine. A bonafide badass leatherneck with the scars to prove it. But this badass had one soft spot—his fierce loyalty and care for his men. Puller’s leadership is one of the reasons why to this day, Marine Corps officers in the field never eat until the enlisted men have been served.

Puller was the most decorated Marine in history, and the only Marine to receive five Navy Crosses. He led Marines in some of the bloodiest battles of World War II, including Guadalcanal and Peleliu, the names of which forever speak of the Marines’ exploits and sacrifices. In the Korean War, Puller was again assigned as commander of the 1st Marines, which he led to a landing at Inchon on September 15, 1950, earning his Silver Star in the process. He was given the Distinguished Service Cross from the Army for action from November 29 to December 5 of that same year, and his fifth Navy Cross for action during December 5–10 at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. It was during that battle when he made the famous quote: "We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things."

The new Iranian gunboats have glass bottoms so they can see the old Iranian gunboats.

[GOPJ]

Iran and China a teaming up... but Iran’s delusional if they think China’s gonna jump in (at this point) to save their worthless butts... Maybe later - not now. So sink a few for all of us...
