An Iranian warship has embarked on a mission in oceanic waters, Iran’s state media reported, in the wake of a warning by Houthi rebels that they could renew their attacks on vessels transiting the region.

The aircraft carrier Shahid Mahdavi, operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has reached southern hemisphere waters, the semi-official Fars news agency reported, without specifying its exact location

The Navy needs to send in the USS Harvey Milk immediately to intercept this Iranian warship.

[Robe]

And show it’s stern?

[faithhopecharity]

i bet it will “hit an unexpected iceberg” and sink

[Steely Tom]

When it gets blown in half, we’ll be hearing all these stories about the poor Iranian teenager sailors and how they never had a chance.

[jimwatx]

The Houthis now say they will attack any ships going to Israel’s Mediterranean ports. Things are heating up.

[doorgunner69]

Only the muzz would try to call a converted freighter an aircraft carrier.

[SaveFerris]

[DIRTYSECRET]

Easy target. Think Gulf of Tonkin.

[SaveFerris]

[null and void]

Run silent, run deep.

Given their asserted proclivities...

Run silent, RUN sheep!!!

[SaveFerris]

Yeah

I’m wondering if they’re planning on sacrificing this one as a “provocation”

“The Navy needs to send in the USS Harvey Milk immediately to intercept this Iranian warship.”

If any ship in the USN could get behind an Iranian and put a big torpedo right up its tailpipe it’s the Harvey Milk!

AlahWahoo Whackbar!

By Yusuf Çetiner in Iran, Naval, News, Patrol Vessel, Surface Combatant March 14, 2023

On 9 March, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy commissioned the Shahid Mahdavi offshore warship, which Iran Shipbuilding & Offshore Industries Complex converted from an old container ship for naval needs. Major General Hossein Salami, Commander of the Revolutionary Guards, and Rear Admiral Ali Reza Tangsiri, Commander of the Revolutionary Guards Naval Forces, attended the ceremony in Bandar Abbas, the capital of the Hormuzgan province in southern Iran, where a fast combat support ship called “Shahid Ghorbani” and nearly 100 Ashura and Tariq class speedboats also joined the Revolutionary Guards Navy fleet.

Two F-15s could sink it.

Your most honorable Nullness, my post had two meanings, one was the movie, the other—well you can can guess in the unfathomable void of your Nullness. May the void be worthy...........

No need for the second one. A single 2,000 lb “Quicksink” will do the job. No time to abandon ship.

Just another obsolete target like all Russian and U.S. ships when push comes to shove.
