THIS, plus the trusty Ma-Deuce. Also the new Block Harpoon (while pricey) would ruin their entire day.

If the Navy can’t figure this one out ,then maybe the CNO should start hanging out with that idiot Shep Smith!

What a difference a Commander in Chief makes - they know our sailors aren’t being handcuffed when it comes to defending themselves.

With the punk ass magic negro the Iranians knew they could get away with it and use such as a PR ploy.
With The Donald, this kind of crap will get the iranians killed.

THIS is what happens when a President with brass testicles the size of medicine balls hires a guy nicknamed “Mad Dog” to run the DoD.

Very refreshing after eight years of the muslim eunuch.

All the Iranian rocket scientists figured out that when they close the Strait of Hormuz they close it for themselves and all their oil tankers.

Also, we are quickly building a land portage around the Strait of Hormuz that is both heavy rail and all weather roads.

We also have new electronic jamming for any approaching craft. It fries everything electronic, right down to the spark plugs. It’s been tested and works.

Interesting. Do you have a good source on the internet for this info?
