Here's how the US Navy tagged an Iranian frigate in 1988.
(An aerial view of the Iranian frigate IS Sahand (74) burning on 18 April 1988 after being attacked by aircraft of U.S. Navy Carrier Air Wing 11 in retaliation for the mining of the guided missile frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG 58))

Link to Wiki article about the USS Roberts that was damaged in the Gulf in 1988. The mine attack in the central Gulf was the trigger for the US Navy to attack two Iranian oil platforms and sink the IS Sahand.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Samuel_B._Roberts_(FFG-58)
The official website for the ship does not pull up for me, so Wiki it is.

I heard a U.S. Special Forces A-Team Commander stole this Iranian commander's underwear off the clothes line in his back yard. Can't say more. It's classified.

You'd think that they'd have bothered to take one their cell phone cameras and taken a pic of their handiwork.

If it were true, wouldn't they name the ship, and release photos?

LOL!! Hey Iran, whenever we want to "etch" any "symbols" on your pitiful ships and aircraft it will be with this method...... the object on which we "etch" our "message" will not be in any condition to function.....

When we kick their butts, they all get deeply depressed. It happened just after we rolled over Saddam.

Not to be a spoilsport in the "oh yeah" chorus but the claim isn't on its face impossible or improbable. There are numerous instances of record regarding US, British, and Italian UDT swimmers approaching ships undetected to lay charges.
The lack of details raises questions. I'll wait until we see if another shoe drops before joining the song.

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. Where are the pictures? No proof, no truth.
