America's navy is so large its pointless/financial waste of time to even train to do battle with our navy.

We could and would absolutely annihilate anyone in a naval only battle.


Wouldn't the US Coast Guard alone, even with its aging fleet, be like the 25th or so largest navy in the world?

I guess everyone has to train for something, though.

Doing something like this in real life is exactly how Iran becomes one of those Not a Country Anymore, countries.

1. Try to build aircraft carrier.
2. Fail.
3. Blow it up in an attempt to intimidate the enemy.
4. ???
5. Profit.

I just watched the video. Our missile defenses would have a field day with those slow rockets.

they're building a fricking barge about 1/10th the size of an aircraft carrier


Actually that barge is just over 700 feet long.

The Iranian mock-up, which American officials described as more like a barge than a warship, has no nuclear propulsion system and is only about two-thirds the length of a typical 1,100-foot-long Navy carrier.


Still, I get what you mean.

more than a dozen swarming Iranian speedboats assaulted a replica


Keyword..

I can take down a replica, wearing nothing but a speedo and homemade bombs fashioned from fireworks...

Can these be aimed at the water???

We are all ignoring the elephant in the room. When they get a nuke, they're going to use it. They can't be that far off.

And before you say they can't develop it, they don't have to. Pay some defector 500MM.

How many times has the nuclear bomb been independently developed, without it being stolen by or given to another country?
