I sure hope the ship’s crew is up to date on their diversity training to see them through the boarding and capture process by the Iranians. After all, there are pallets of Obama cash at stake.

They would end up more like Chaff or maybe a little puff of splinters

**** “Better yet, capture them and demand a $152 billion ransom” ****

“USS Nitze has 2 25mm chain-driven weapons”
Would have been like a chainsaw through butter given the small boats the Iranians were feigning with.
