When it gets blown in half, we’ll be hearing all these stories about the poor Iranian teenager sailors and how they never had a chance.

The Houthis now say they will attack any ships going to Israel’s Mediterranean ports. Things are heating up.

“The Navy needs to send in the USS Harvey Milk immediately to intercept this Iranian warship.”

If any ship in the USN could get behind an Iranian and put a big torpedo right up its tailpipe it’s the Harvey Milk!

The IRGC Navy Adds 95 Speedboats and the Shahid Mahdavi Warship To Its Fleet

By Yusuf Çetiner in Iran, Naval, News, Patrol Vessel, Surface Combatant March 14, 2023

On 9 March, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy commissioned the Shahid Mahdavi offshore warship, which Iran Shipbuilding & Offshore Industries Complex converted from an old container ship for naval needs. Major General Hossein Salami, Commander of the Revolutionary Guards, and Rear Admiral Ali Reza Tangsiri, Commander of the Revolutionary Guards Naval Forces, attended the ceremony in Bandar Abbas, the capital of the Hormuzgan province in southern Iran, where a fast combat support ship called “Shahid Ghorbani” and nearly 100 Ashura and Tariq class speedboats also joined the Revolutionary Guards Navy fleet.

No need for the second one. A single 2,000 lb “Quicksink” will do the job. No time to abandon ship.
