Notice the Harpoon antiship missle loaded on extrernal stores station 8 wing pylon. Iraq does not have anything but patrol boats that would not be worth wasting a missle on so this is meant for somebody else in the neighborhood such as Iranian picket boats or destroyers in the gulf that they purchased from Russia. Good to see that the Navy is taking nothing for granted and is patrolling the area and ready for any and all contingencies. OOorraahhHH

Posts with insite like yours is why I love Free Republic so, that and a good down home taste of American Style Humor.
Glad to see we are ready, I do not trust the Russian ships at our back either.

Actually, most Iranian destroyers are Americans ones left over from World War 2 after FRAM updates.
I'd be more concerned about the Iranian Kilos 877's from Russia.
