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 think Iran should come back when they have something of Cruiser strength... and shouldn't be in dry dock
-
Do they really think they can accomplish something? Thanks, OP. You made my day.

I've added some of the funnier comments to the OP, (or at least the ones I think are funnier).

What a joke. America should just wipe that country off the map before they attempt something stupid.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] West Highland WT What a joke. America should just wipe that country off the map before they attempt something stupid.[/quote] ^ This, exactly
-
the U.S navy responded, sending out a life boat to help save the sinking iranians...just kidding, we'd let them drown as a lesson to get actual ships, not pieces of cardboard with duck tape
-
The sad part is they will never know how many U.S. submarines will be following them. And I would love us to move a carrier group or two where they can see. Show them what a real navy looks like.
-
I dare them to attack us. Hell, our civilian population could most likely repel them if they attacked us.
-
The US better destroy those ships.

Can their canoes survive in the ocean? [Edited on 09.27.2011 8:59 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AJF1177 Can their canoes survive in the ocean?[/quote]I doubt the duct tape would hold,so no

I can say is: loliran.

Simple solution: nuke their entire fleet from orbit.
