Iranian Ship Movements

Post by skb12172 »

I just heard they were moving 7-9 warships to a position to resupply and support the Houti Rebels. We are supposedly forming a blockade to stop them. Link
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Looks like a target rich environment Goose.

Some E2-C moles are going to be busy running SSSC's from the RO/IFT seat.

I can only hope that someone named the blockade Operation Blowfish.

Nope, now there's just Darius Rucker and he switched genres.

It's all good; we've needed some real-world live fire experience with the Harpoon for some time, and the sub skippers would probably love a few torpedo live firex opportunities as well. We can't let a limey be the last sub guy to sink a surface warship.

Then they'll be Hurty and the Blown Fish.

And the Iragians will have a tough time slipping 100 civilians aboard after the fact and claiming it was American warmongers shanking peaceful civilian traffic. :lol:
