IRANIAN WARSHIPS TO BE DEPLOYED TO ATLANTIC (AMERICAN) WATERS

Per the AP:

News from The Associated Press

Saw that story on Fox News earlier, I am sure the US Navy is quaking in their boots right now.

Saw another story earlier that a single US Carrier group would be the 16th largest navy in the world if it belonged to another country. We have 10 of those.

1. United States Navy: 3,415,893 tons - TheRichest

LOL

"Near" Americans waters, not "in." Not that it really makes a difference. Iran is entitled to the use of international waters as anyone else.

 

[HeadlessRoland]

Our Executive is a weak-willed ***** who would let the Iranians do whatever they want anyhow, so that leaves it to our military to maintain peace through superior firepower.

 

[eric001]

I just had to laugh at the term "fleet" for a destroyer and one other ship. Then SEIndSAM made it an injury to the insult by pointing out how a carrier "group" is ranked. Lots of fun there!!!

Yeah, I don't believe that one sec. I have the upmost confidence that if he had the popular support, he would've invaded both Libya and Syria.

Oh, I agree. There's nothing he would love to do more than to arm al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood.

One wonders what the Iranians have in mind for a purpose in doing so, but the other side of the coin is that if all the INGO people who also own boats got together, they would probably have a better navy than Iran.

He does have a gift for jumping in on the wrong side, doesn't he?

Yeah, but then we'd run into problems with the command structure and organization. We can't even keep a thread on track for more than fifty posts, so I imagine we would have run half our fleet aground within the first two hours.

You know what's weird? It's [strike]almost[/strike] as though he's doing it on purpose.

In before the cries of "We had to stop Gaddafi!" and "We have to stop al-Assad!"

 

[IndyGunworks]

Yeah, but then we'd run into problems with the command structure and organization. We can't even keep a thread on track for more than fifty posts, so I imagine we would have run half our fleet aground within the first two hours.

and still have twice the navy.

What, and risk losing all our guns in a horrible [STRIKE]boating[/STRIKE] naval accident??

 

[HeadlessRoland]

The truest of true stories.

I wonder if that'd be close enough to launch an EMP tipped missile ?

Someone please rep that man! (I'm out.)

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

The fleet, consisting of a destroyer and a helicopter-carrying supply ship, began its voyage last month from the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas.

A "projection of power"....let that sink in for a moment.

 

[PistolBob]

Iranian navy huh? what's that? a shrimp boat and a canoe?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I found a picture of 3 of Iran's rear admirals...
