Iran to Deploy Navy off U.S. Coast? Lolwut?
Apparently so. [url]http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/27/world/meast/iran-navy/[/url]
Well, being that I live in America, this story intrigued me. No doubt I felt a little unsettled at first, but after doing some background research, I started laughing.
Iranian Navy:
3 WW2-era destroyers
5 Frigates
3 Corvettes
3 Diesel Powered Submarines
None of which even have the range to sail the 8000 nautical miles between New York and Iran, and also have no nuclear capabilities.
Plus they're doing this during the height of hurricane season.
On behalf of the United States I would like to thank the Islamic Republic of Iran for their generous donation to our artificial reef program.
Your thoughts?

I dare them to come over here. I'll just swim off of the Jersey shore with a stick and a bottle rocket. And completely btch out their entire navy.

We are doing the same exact -blam!- to them.[/quote] The thing is that their Navy is pretty much the equivalent of our Coast Guard.

If we pulled all our military assets back to America, we would have enough defensive forces to make invasion suicidal for any lone country, or even a coalition of most other countries.

Are they serious? They can't be serious! This is a feint, surely. The U.S. has sunk ships for less, though. I wouldn't want to be an Iranian sailor if the management truly is this reckless.
