Iran prepares for kamikaze attacks

And then there is the US Cole rule:
rules of engagment: we can’t fire until fired upon, and all weapons to be kept unloaded and ammo in locked magazines.

Will Zero bring it back for these upcoming “special occasions”?

The big E is set to leave norfolk for the gulf this week.

Sacrificial lamb ? False flag ?

Fire sale. We need the money and Zero sold it to the Iranians.

They will take possession when it arrives in port. The smuggled Russian navalized SUs will be load up. Russian piolts debarked in Syria from the aircraft carrier than just left will do the flying under Iranian colors a la the Korean war.

The shinny new Russian early warning radar installed in Syria will do the tracking from the Med to the Golan to Saudia Arabia.

The Chinese navy will man the Iranian minisubs with token Iranian navy personel aboard.

I would hope that each ship has at least twenty Marines with .50 cal machine guns for final-stage defense.

You can hope that all you want, but Marines are no longer assigned as part of a ship's complement, and haven't been for about 20 years.

The problem is if they swarm and run the Phalanx out of ammo. Hopefully they will be detected several miles away and taken out with Cobra attack helos.

This assumes that

a) the Phalanx is the only defensive weapon which will be brought to bear

b) the carrier won't make tracks at 30 knots away from the speedboats

c) speedboats 21-40 are going to be at *all* eager to continue pressing the assault after watching their friends being turned into a red mist to absolutely *NO* effect on the Americans.

Cheers!
