I had created a thread about it: Iran is building a nonworking mock-up of an American aircraft carrier

Fake US aircraft carrier the target in latest Iranian drills
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — With rockets roaring and guns blazing, more than a dozen swarming Iranian speedboats assaulted a replica of a U.S. aircraft carrier Wednesday during large-scale naval drills near the strategically vital entrance of the Persian Gulf.
"American aircraft carriers are very big ammunition depots housing a lot of missiles, rockets, torpedoes and everything else," the Guard's navy chief, Adm. Ali Fadavi, said on state television. A direct hit by a missile could set off a large secondary explosion, he added.
Fadavi last month boasted that his force is capable of sinking American aircraft carriers in the event of war. He previously called carriers easy targets and said Iran naturally wants to sink them.
State TV showed footage of missiles fired from the coast and the fast boats striking the ersatz American carrier, which appeared to be a replica seen in a shipyard in the southern port of Bandar Abbas last year.

Do they have fake submarines circling the aircraft carriers also?

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.

because those fake ships have counter meausures built in, guns on the deck loaded with aircraft, let alone all the other boats that can be deplyed to blow a speedboat to shite. We need like 4 sharpshooters in a helo to take out there navy i guess?

About the only person that was impressed was Kim Jong Un.

I'm betting the mockup didn't have phalanx defense systems on-board as well as a full contingent of F-18 Hornets.

Our navy is like 10x bigger and more badass than the rest of the world's put together.

I've been next to an aircraft carrier in a 25' boat and it's like looking up at Mt. Everest.
It's like a fly attacking a train.

This didn't wven intimidate my 18' Xpress boat.

I'm not marginalizing the threat, but doesn't the enemy have to get close enough to the target to actually pose a threat? Iran may find that hard to do. i don't think the carrier is going to let anything get too close to it if it perceives it as hostile.

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