I was expecting it to be yellow.

"Strange looking ship. The missile launcher and the mismatched turrets are extremely large compared to the rest of the ship."

Maybe it will end up at the bottom of the sea like Henry VIII's "Mary Rose." More than one awkwardly overweight ship has gone to Davy Jones' locker. Let's hope this one is among them.

Can someone who knows how to animate stuff, do a remake with the sub's lid repeatedly coming down on Imanutjob's head?

“home-made”

- just like mom used to make.

“No, that is not a model in front of me. That IS the new home-made destroyer.”

It is Yellow.....

“I will now take entries into the Iran war pool. How long will these vessels last after hostilities start? I expect them both to be gone in two days.”

I think you may be overstating that by 46 to 47 hours.....

Is the whole on the back where the camel walks on the tread mill drive?

Strange ship....at least it has a pool aft.

“...the navy commander mentioned that his troops are scheduled to stage massive military exercises codenamed ‘Unity 86’ in the Sea of Oman in February, adding that new tactics and military tools and equipment would be tested during the maneuvers.”

Probably the latested in “86” technology.

The madman may “launch” one of his own at Damascus. But I doubt if he is “launching” these days.

Iranian army's naval commander said that the country is due to launch a home-made destroyer and a submarine on Wednesday.

OK, I now understand Oil futures at nearly $100/barrel. It seems perfectly reasonable to me. Iran will kick things up a notch and use oil as a weapon to threaten the world economy, big time.

Iran is like a schoolyard bully; they will keep pushing people around until they are finally knocked to the ground by someone. It will be interesting to watch what happens in a presidential election year.

THat hatch just does not ‘look’ right. Is it a non-pressure bearing hatch. I lloked at a lok of images of other sub sail hatches and this one look too thin, I don’t see any dogging points and no external opening device.

Any bubbleheads care to coment?

And they thought their boghammers were a good idea, too.

Until the little birds found them.

Excellent! More targets.

LOL! We don’t want to be hidden. I will now take entries into the Iran war pool. How long will these vessels last after hostilities start? I expect them both to be gone in two days.

I call 5 minutes and will take the under.
