Iran Blows Up Nimitz Replica

jthomas666 · Feb 26, 2015

(CNN)Iran blasted its mock-up of a U.S. aircraft carrier during naval drills on Wednesday, swarming the target with 100 speedboats armed with rockets, shoulder-launched missiles and mortars as well as striking it with cruise missiles, according to reports from Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency.

Iran said the aircraft carrier target was a full-size replica of the USS Nimitz.

I'm really at the point with these azzhats that I wouldn't mind anchoring the Nimitz off their coast flying a banner reading "I TRIPLE-DOG DARE YOU!!"

Yeah, Nimitz-class carriers that are not made out of plywood tend to fight back.

Someone more knowledgeable than me care to share what the rules of engagement are in such a situation. I know there were some changes after the USS Cole attack.

Funny story. I once got chewed out royally and later given a glowing citation for the way I handled an approaching speedboat when standing a topside watch. Our COMSUBGROUP at the time didn't appreciate being yelled at and drawn upon when approaching our anchored vessel, but later thought better of it.

Sneaking up on a destroyer tied up or even anchored in port is a whole lot different than hitting a carrier with it's battle group at sea.

I wonder if any of their inflatable craft were damaged by flying splinters.

Sort of like what happened when Somali pirates attacked what they thought was a cargo ship and found that it was a Navy warship.
