Iran to put warships off US Atlantic coast...

[High_Gravity]

If the Iranians open up a few Persian dining restaurants on their ships that will be cool I guess.

The Iranian Threat won't be Surface Ships. It will be Sub's.

Our technological edge in the sonar and detection game is so overwhelming, their subs may as well stay on the surface

China has already compromised us in that regard.

China doesn't have us compromised on anything at a military level. I would like to know where you are drawing up such information.

Iran says could deploy navy near U.S. coast: report - The West Australian

heh. Bring it, bitches.

I think they should build bases in Toronto ! Or Deeeeetroyt ! Why not ? You assholes do it.

 

[Intense]

The Iranian Threat won't be Surface Ships. It will be Sub's.

The kilo class subs they have are awsome for shallow water work, but only really for interdiction work. diesel electrics are quieter than nukes when going at steerage, but once they have to move, the russian technology for lessening flow noise and caviatation is far behind the US's and more imporantly, noisy enough that our detection gear would have no issue locating the sub.

The subs would only be a serious threat if they got them off the coast, and then declared that they are blockading the seaboard, or at least the ports in range of the 5 kilos they have. Even then thier duration would only be a few weeks, at that point they would have to move, and then KABOOM.

That boils down to strategy and training. With Stealth, it is allot easier on the offensive, on defense, there are no time outs. Allot of commercial traffic out there to confuse matters. My point is not what an Enemy would do, but what what they could do, in the wrong circumstances. The Sub's will be the greater threat. Of course in strained times, under stress, there are always unaccounted accidents.

Tijuana and Matamoros

 

[Firehorse]

Even if China shared info with Iran. Knowing that we can find them and stopping or developing something to keep us from finding them are two different subjects

 

[Sallow]

My guess would be Cuba/Venequela. You know - those two Liberal paradises down south. They'll take care of the filthy Arabs.

I bet those Iranians are all throwing their names in the hat to be stationed at Venezuela or Cuba so they can drink tequila and sleep with some hot Hispanic bitches.

Tell ya what, those Latinas won't put up with any of their misogynistic bullshit either... they'll wake to her standing over him with a knife in one hand and his fun stick in the other!

What are you crazy? Both those places have a thriving prostitution sector.

Tijuana and Matamoros? The Zetas would eat the Iranians for desert and be smiling the entire time.

Subs a threat?

 

[Firehorse]

A sub is more of a danger, but not to one of our warships. Now say an Iranian sub gets a hair up is ass and decides to sink a cruise ship (on accedent of course) ... That's a problem

 

[Xchel]

Firehorse, that would be a really stupid move on their part because then in retaliation NATO would sink every ship they had in international waters....article 5 and such you know..

As long as they are in International waters, they have every right to be there.

Fans of the Ayatollah are we?
Actually, you're wrong. As with any sovereign nation, a perceived threat to that sovereignty is a legitimate military target regardless of location.
What you stupidly claim is the same as a host country placing armed military personnel outside the fence of a US Embassy. International law provides for that as well.
Suppose IRAN stops it's vessels 200 miles plus one yard off the coast of Washington DC or New York City....This is ok with you?
It is you fucking chicken footed pacifists that invite rogue nations such as Iran to act with aggression toward the US with impunity.
Nevertheless, people like you have no say in the matter.
Put bluntly....If Iran pulls this nonsense, our military will run them off or Iran's navy will be short a few pieces of equipment.

they have squat for 'real' subs.

List of current ships of the Iranian Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3 KILO class, with a range of 7,500 nautical miles
1 Nahang class, a mini with external torpedo tubes.
11 Ghadir class, another mini with a top speed of 11 knots and 2 to 4 torpedoes or mines.
and
4 Yugo class, midget subs that carry 4 men and a top range of 550 nautical miles.

A good yacht club could take them.

 

[Firehorse]

They could claim the cruise ship tried to ram them late at night while they were on the surface .... No one ever said the Iranians were smart

Well they might still be pissed about the commercial Iranian airliner an American military vessel shot down because of a computer glitch.

Shame.

Yeah. They could use the same excuse that American Sub Commander used when they plowed into a boat full of school kids during a power dive off the coast of Japan.

Of course..little hard to explain why a Texas Oil Man was driving..

Oh horseshit. Nobody has to be fans of the assholes to recognise international waters. What a completely stupid assertion. Iran isn't sending shit. They haven't the capability.
This goddam fearmongering to keep the sheeple compliant is wrong on its face, its a disgrace, and just plain dishonorable.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Yeah. That's what the founding fathers want...citizens who cheer "bring it on, bitches!" and who smile at the prospect of war.

No..Not war...Iran cannot fight a war vs the US. That country is under manned and outgunned.
Any naval conflict between us and Iran would be over in one boom and a flash of very bright light. That followed by a gurgle.
Whether you lefty's want to acknowledge this fact or not, it is well known that human beings are creatures of repressed aggression. Based on that fact, we maintain peace by the show of force. The ability to blow up stuff, kill people keeps us free .

Great pussy too. Don't fuck with the Latins with this brainwashing bullshit.
Fuck Wally, Geeziss, Bootsa and all the rest.
We have fucking to do.
