QuoteA senior Iranian naval commander says his country has sent several warships to the Atlantic Ocean, close to U.S. maritime borders for the first time.
The commander of Iran's Northern Navy Fleet, Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad, is quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying Saturday that the vessels have already begun the journey to the Atlantic Ocean via waters near South Africa.
"Iran's military fleet is approaching the United States' maritime borders, and this move has a message," Haddad reportedly said, according to Fars, a semi-official Iranian news agency.
Right, and that message will be, "Glub glub blugg blub blub *"
All your dinghies are belong to us.
I'm not sure they know what the term 'threaten' means ...
I'm impressed that the Iranians claim to have a destroyer and a helicopter carrier.
How will the world react to the powerful fleet of Falsehood and Fiction? Let us all hope that they don't send Guffaw and Boondoggle out to join them! We aren't ready for that!
Somewhere deep in the bowels of the Capital.....Congressmen are working on how to turn this into a credible threat worthy of increased military spending....in their district, of course.
Maybe the Cuban and Venezuelan navies, along with ragged squadrons of Somalian pirates, could be encouraged to join in the "invasion"? Where the hell are the Wolverines when you need them?

"....Iranian officials said last month that the fleet consisted of the destroyer Sabalan and the logistic helicopter carrier Khark...."
Don't tell me the U.S. doesn't have the naval strength in the Atlantic to oppose that "fleet"!
We're leaving itvto the canadians for training purposes.

My God, man. Think of the Geneva Convention, you monster! ;)
It is nice having no tan lines.

Looks like the cast of Cop Rock...
...although the cast of Cop Rock were better actors, actually.
^Dude, Cop Rock? We do not speak of such things, much as True Klingons do not speak of those without forehead lines.
I'd take a Cop Rock marathon with a steaming, stinking slice of Glee on the side before I watch that Red Dawn remake again.
I have to agree with B_C on this one. That Red Dawn remake was the pits!
Chekhov seems to have the solution to this problem:

That's ok because the Iranians don't have a real Navy either 8)
If I was a US Navy Admiral with a sense of humor, I'd send out one of the Kidd-class destroyers to meet them. (Of course, if I was a US Navy Admiral, I'd probably know if any of those aren't mothballed.)
Why don't we just let the Coast Guard handle it?
are you still there?
US answer please!
Yes?

Seems like an excessive show of force, all things considered ;D
How about the cop from the Village People. Would that be too excessive.
I'm sure they can send these ships into the US maritime borders, but have they considered how long it will take to get them back home after they run out of fuel and have to rig the sails?
Do they have sails? I thought they were galleys :)
Latest report is that they are through the Suez Canal .....

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/iranian-navy-commander-vows-sink-us-fleet-after-warship-deployment-near-american-maritime-1435758
QuoteA top Iranian navy commander has stepped up threats against the US, vowing to sink America's Fifth Fleet in the Middle East if provoked.
The threats came after Iran reportedly deployed warships, apparently in response to America's movement of ships into Iranian territory.
According to a senior naval commander, Afshin Rezayee, the Iranian deployment of a destroyer and a helicopter-carrying supply ship was a direct response to the presence of American naval forces in the Persian Gulf.
The Fifth Fleet of the United States Navy is responsible for naval forces in the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and parts of the Indian Ocean.
"Iran's military fleet is approaching the United States' maritime borders, and this move has a message," Rezayee was quoted as saying.

Before this is out. I'm certain that all of their crew will start to look like Lee Marvin, after weeks of salt water showers.
Hope they packed plenty of apples and limes to keep scurvy away.

Brilliant article. The comment response regarding nukes is good too.
You just have to wonder what it would do for the moral of the Iranian sailors if a US carrier group chose to keep them company.

Fixed for ya.
They would most likely defect on the spot.
...or should that be defecate?

I don't know. Are Iranian morals stronger than typical navy morals?
This is the geek-scare-the-pants-off-moral version. I could have said morale, which, in hindsight, may have been more apt ;)
...on the other hand..............I may just have left the 'e' off........
youve been 'grammar-ed'

look - "moral" vs "morale" just has too many possibilities for humor to let it go.
People who screw up their-there-they're or two-to-too rarely leave much of a chuckle on the table.
But then/than (http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htmurph/articles/20051129.aspx) always has humo(u)rous possibilities, and accept-except often does too.
