Lmao, Iran's Navy is less equipped than the Cajun Navy. Fucking bass boats with machine guns, ooooo...

Everyone is wearing a life jacket because they can't even swim. Nerds.

Farmerbob1 58 points ago +61 / -3

I agree with everything else, but anyone that gets in a small craft, especially one headed into a possible fight, should wear a life preserver.

Hard to swim when you are unconscious or have shrapnel wounds, or worse. Just sayin'

If you had Russian engineers capture a Allied naval yard, you could build your own dolphins and then use the Russian bombader to strap bombs onto the dolphins. I would do a similar tactic with strapping bombs onto the attack dogs as well.

Bombs on attack dogs? Something a soulless fuck would do. Sounds like the Russians and mooslims tactic.

the most embarrassing part of the life jackets is that they are like civilian grade, it looks like they are going on a mosque-funded whale watch.

I'm sure they can swim.. The life jackets are for after the battle they will be easier to spot bobbing in the water. so recovering the bodies will be easier

I did a cruise in the Persian Gulf in the mid 90s. We once sailed through a cluster of sea snakes. I'm talking about writhing all over each other on the surface of the water, covering an area the size of a dozen football fields. they were so jam packed together that you could have walked on top of them. It was really creepy.

I guess what I'm saying is there are things in the Persian Gulf way more scary than sharks.

3
Former_RM2 3 points ago +3 / -0

Yeah, pretty close to hell, that's for sure. One time we were sailing and we had to shut down all the Aircon/refrigeration on the ship because the water was too hot to cool the condensers. One of the refrigeration engineers told me it was over 100F..Luckily that only lasted a few hours.

The passengers were almost exclusively Iranian, so they just killed a bunch of college-aged Iranians heading back to Europe/Canada for school. Their grand retaliation also included the trampling of more Iranians at Soleimani's funeral.

7
CactusPete 7 points ago +7 / -0

Nothing? Did nothing? How absolutely dare you sir! I remind you that the Iranians shot down their own airliner! That showed the US! Ha!

And did the US have the courage to retaliate by shooting down TWO of its own airliners? No!

Looks like Iran won that one!

It's funny when you think the Navy spends more money on targets to practice against...

"Sir, are we sure we want to shoot a 100,000$ ship to surface missile at the dingy?" - First Officer

"You're right.. let's just pop it with the .22 we keep to deal with Sea Pigeons" - Captain

"Sea Pigeons?" - other guy listening in

And Coasties have a LOT more experience in dealing with small craft, watching videos of the USN engage little targets like these is enlightening in how hard it actually is to hit something 500+ yards away while both it and you are moving and being rocked by waves.

Not a good one this time. You want to read how General Paul Van Riper performed on this Pentagon war game, armed with scraps and doing swarm tactics against the big guns:

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/2002-us-military-conducted-iran-war-simulation-iran-won-82906

Does this imply that the Iranian bots are a powerful force? No. But it does say that you're well off not underestimating your enemies.

2
Yawnz13 2 points ago +4 / -2

This encounter isn't the same as what happened earlier in the week. This was an engagement close to shore and we can also assume based on Van Riper's tactics that the Navy was operating under rather restrictive ROE.

I love the irony of the last two sentences:

"Of course, in a real shooting war no one can tweak the rules to preserve an American advantage. If Iran actually were to deploy Van Riper’s brutally effective tactics, it just might inflict even more damage than Van Riper’s own hamstrung forces did in their simulated, and rigged, war."

I guess the author likes to ignore the constant hamstringing that goes on in regards to US forces?

1
ArdentGrasshopper 1 point ago +1 / -0

"This encounter isn't the same as what happened earlier in the week."

Well yes, of course. I didn't imply that at all. It's just what I wrote at the end - doesn't pay to underestimate your enemies.

-2
Yawnz13 -2 points ago +1 / -3

Which is effectively little more than concern trolling at this point. No one's acting like the Iranian military can't bash two rocks together to make a fire, but let's also not act like the ROE hasn't been the greatest problem with the US military in the last half-century and would likely be the source of any kind of problem in a conflict with Iran. Their gunboats have relatively short-ranged weapons and are generally only able to get into range because they're allowed to.

When I was in the Navy, Iran pulled alongside my cruiser in what I assume was their version of a destroyer/cutter. General Quarters were sounded and we all thought it was happening. 5 minutes later the Captain comes over the 1MC asking all hands not currently on watch topside to show them what America is made of. We go topside and the ship has the 5 inch guns pointed at the Iranian vessel. We were met topside by most of the Chiefs Mess flipping them off, mooning them, I'm pretty sure a few bros even pulled out their meat! They peeled off quickly thereafter and shut the fuck up!

Spez: happened in the Straight of Hormuz heading to the North Arabian Gulf.

Honestly, after the Gulf of Tonkin incident was revealed to be a false flag, this sort of schitt does concern me, but I can say that President Trump is someone I could trust to contain it. I know that he's not trying to get into a war, but to get out of them. I think he will act appropriately.

Phalanx would like to have a word with salami small boat. During an exercise it shot between the space of the rear superstructure and mast, to get to the missile. (American Ticonderoga class). They are mostly meant for air targets but are fully capable of point defense toward surface targets as well.

You got quite defensive without any provocation... kinda cuck'd, low-T behavior. And what you're describing is a single battle in a worst case scenario, that if caught unawares the US might lose one battle. After that battle, Iran wont have any ports for these ships to return to because their little rowboats can't defeat an air force.

Don't underestimate the swarming tactics that Iran would use. The lines of demarcation there don't always allow enemies to be seen from miles off, easy picking for a modern destroyer. US and allied ships sometimes have to casually coast a mile or two from Iranian water. A swarm of Iranian gun boats, armed with enough rockets and fanatic sailors, would eventually land some hits.

Our military doesn't maintain it's edge by downplaying every threat.
