Will we ignore them or stick an attack submarine on their tail?
Some "fleet" - a destroyer and a logistics supply ship.

The commander of Iran's Northern Navy Fleet, Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad, said the vessels have already entered the Atlantic Ocean via waters near South Africa, the official IRNA news agency reported.
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. The ships, carrying some 30 navy academy cadets for training along with their regular crews, are on a three-month mission.

The Coast Guard is begging them to frick up so they have something to do. We could sink them with one of these if we wanted:

Surround them with warships and carriers, have every cadet on the deck, flip them the bird, sail off, profit.

We should just park a carrier group next to them.

No need to bother the Navy when the local coastal police force can take them down.

It is a big deal for a nation to sustain operations away from their logistical bases, something China has learned supporting anti-piracy ops in the Indian Ocean while trying to build a blue water navy. This is a good training exercise for Iran, but there will be am SSN shadow the whole way, they'd be treading water the second after they decided to escalate...
Their bread and butter is mass number swarming missile boats in the Hormuz. They know it as well, if they wanted to frick us up... That's where'd they would give it to us sans lube.

We'll have their arse surrounded from all corners. Not even worried.

Is it an actual destroyer or a dingy with 4 guys with RPG's and AK47's? I have no worries about this "fleet". Meh.

Nah take the vessel and its crew......
USN, had a few skirmishes with their Navy in late 80s....
Vincennes stopped all that....
They might be a bit much of coastal police though....

Wait for it.....

Those bitches won't never make it to the Gulf of Mexico.

I wish Putin was our President, he would sink those ships in a heartbeat.

They'll be lucky if they get past the Cartel's submarines.
Posted on 2/8/14 at 7:20 pm to lsu fan cw
I'm sure we'll welcome them with open arms
