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?

Simple solution: nuke their entire fleet from orbit.

I don't see why they can't. We are doing the same exact -blam!- to them.
-
It would be even funnier if those ships were actually good!

"Dear americans, we regret being dumb bastard.s, we regret coming here, and we most definitely regret the navy just blew up our raggedy as.s fleet!"

I loved this comment! [quote]Finally, a fitting sequel to "Snakes on a Plane"...it will be called "Sheiks on a Ship"....wonder if they realize a squall on the ocean aint no sandstorm in the desert?[/quote]

They have a navy?
-
I bet its not even real I bet their ships and subs are made of cardboard made to look real. Wait, they cant afford cardboard

Americans at their finest in here. Just let them bring their ships over. We can use them for target practice.

I really want to know what they hope to accomplish here.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Burned Remains I don't see why they can't. 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. At least they actually have a Navy (albeit small) and not just a few PT Boats and 60s rusted era Submarines and call it a Navy like North Korea.
-
Target Practise.
-
I'll be sending them a thank you card for both their generous donation to our artificial reef program and for all the laughs I've had. Seriously though, this reminds me of something North Korea would try to pull.
-
Perfect opportunity to teach the new rookies in the Navy to target ships. *thumbs up* Hey, it won't even be expensive! How much can cardboard and glue cost?!
-
Kim Jong ll Must be giving pointers to Ahmadinejad again.... I'd wager that a single US aircraft, maybe even a Warthog, could destroy their Navy in a single pass.
-
the defense department should reply with only "Come at me, bro!"
-
K, at midnight, send in 1 navy seal, 1 delta force operator, and 1 LAPD Swat guy. We'll own that fleet by 2 am.
-
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.

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.
