Authorities in Sri Lanka had earlier announced they had rescued Iranian sailors from the Moudge class frigate IRIS Dena after what they said appeared to be a submarine attack. This is the first known attack by an American submarine on a surface warship since World War II and the first such action anywhere since the Churchill class HMS Conqueror sank the Argentine Navy cruiser ARA General Belgrano during the Falklands War in 1982.

As powerful as modern torpedos are these days, I bet the "boom" was catastrophic.

DeleteI remember the hostages held for 444 days.
I remember seeing the bodies of Marines being dragged through the streets after carter F-upped the rescue mission
I remember the barracks being blown up in Beirut
I remember the ISS Cole
I remember Iranians in Afghanistan and Iraq killing our soldiers. (And Obama ordered them released)
I know they supplied the Houthis and Hamas with rockets to indiscriminately kill civilians.
The only question I have is,
Why did it take 47 years to put a stop to this?
Yup. Ghost seems to always be sitting in his rocker on a boil.
DeleteI remember the USS Liberty, can we add that to the list?

ReplyDeleteSubmariner: There are exactly two classes of ship; submarines and targets.
ReplyDeleteDid the captain go down with his ship?

DeleteLast seen trying to get a life preserver on his favorite goat…
DeleteYep, meanwhile we lost another AN/FPS-132 radar system. THAAD and Patriots rely on this for targeting. $1.4+ billion price tag.

CENTCOM can achieve air superiority over Iranian skies. It cannot achieve missile suppression. Those are two completely different objectives and conflating them is a fundamental analytical error that dominates mainstream coverage of this conflict. Iran fires for as long as it chooses to fire. The only military variable is the rate, not the duration.
