A commander in Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Wednesday that a commando unit has engraved the military organization's emblem into the side panel of an American warship stationed in the Persian Gulf.

Nur Ali Shushkari, the head of the Revolutionary Guards ground forces, told Iranian pro-government news agencies that the symbol was etched onto the ship by the crew of a submarine that had managed to reach the U.S. vessel without detection by radar.

Shushkari did not release specific details about the incident, but claimed that the operation proved that Iranian forces are following American fleet traffic in the region.

That looks like a simple emblem to reproduce.

We can stencil it on our JDAMs and return the favor!

A punch line might read,

"Ahmad aJDAMN in your face!"

Radar does not work under water. This would be sonar if the story had any truth to it.

Okay, first, it's waaaaay too wordy to make a good logo. It should be something kids can doodle in their notebooks when they're bored at school. Second, those angular lines have GOT to go. Their soooo "look at me, I'm trying to be a nazi, except without the tanks and dive bombers and concentration camps".

It's just alll wrong!

Someone's career is as sunk as their ship might have been. Watch for the whole watch to have truncated careers.
