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?

That's laughable. The United States Navy outclasses the entire world, and yet Iran thinks they will be some sort of presence? Funny stuff. You know what's even better? We almost can match our number of Nimitz class supercarriers to their entire Navy. [Edited on 09.27.2011 7:33 PM PDT]

Suppose they make it to American Waters. We are Titled "World's Greatest Navy" For a reason.
-
I'll be so pissed if they have a nuke on one of the ships. They'll launch it at us, the nuke will get blown up by defensive missiles, and then we get to utterly take a dump on their "fleet." [Edited on 09.27.2011 7:31 PM PDT]

Lol did they plan this at all?

The government of Iran is filled with total egomaniac idiots. The people there need a revolution.
-
LOL they're gonna get wrecked 5 minutes after sailing off!

I honestly laughed when I read this. I'm pretty sure the Coast Guard could deal with the Iranian Navy all by itself.

Hahahaha, I love the top comment: [quote][b]reddog9500:[/b] I'll bet Iran's sailors will be too tired to cause any trouble after rowing all that way.[/quote] [Edited on 09.27.2011 7:31 PM PDT]
