re: Another ship struck by Iran in the strait of Hormuz

Submarines can’t really protect shipping from missiles and drones now can they.

Yes they can. Not all of our subs are carrying ISBM. They have the capability to deal with small arms such as drones.

Name one

Zumwalt-class destroyer (DDG-1000): These multi-mission guided-missile destroyers use a wave-piercing tumblehome hull and enclosed angular superstructures to drastically reduce radar cross-section. They are currently transitioning to host conventional hypersonic missile strike capabilities.Littoral Combat Ships (LCS): Both the Freedom-class (monohull) and Independence-class (trimaran) ships feature reduced-signature hulls built for high-speed, shallow-water nearshore operations.Experimental and Special Ops Craft: Vessels like the pentamaran M80 Stiletto and the historic, wedge-shaped Sea Shadow (IX-529) served as foundational testing platforms for low-profile geometries and stability wave-riding hulls.

Want more?

Yeah. Go back to chat GPT and tell me which of those ships are currently deployed to the Middle East. Last I heard there were 2 LCS ships there but I promise you they aren’t very stealthy even if they do have a “reduced” radar signature.

I think the term you’re looking for is ICBM. And no, most submarines actually don’t carry those and those that do aren’t chilling anywhere near the Persian gulf. And if the other can deal with drones in the air then why aren’t they shooting them down?

Still working the cannon fodder scenario?

I prefer to call it denying the enemy key terrain.

Are you on drugs? Why would I or you know or have a reason to know which or how many of these ships are deployed? Why don’t you call the pentagon and ask them.

I heard a frog bumps his arse when he jumps. What is your point? Did you not get the coded message from the pentagon giving the locations and destinations of this ships? I am appalled.

Damn, I had know idea none of our nuclear subs were no where near the Persian gulf. Can I get your security clearance so I can track where they are?

You are a joke and I will treat you as such.

You took that role for me. Thanks chief.

Lol but not key Hilux

Don’t need to blow up the Hiluxes.

Those are the drone launchers chief.

I’m well aware. But you can’t blow up every Hilux now can you?

Says they guy wanting to take islands to deny said junk trucks

They launch mines and observe the strait from those islands, among other places.

But holding an island will defeat those trucks on a thousand mile shoreline!
