Looks like a couple Destroyers, a few Frigates and several Submarines.

Mostly coastal defense type stuff.

It's strange how they're such a huge issue with the righties. As if they pose much of a threat. What would it take one Aeghis and one sub to defeat the their whole navy? Sounds like being a bully is more important than acting responsibly with regards to all of those treaties that we signed...

Well,.......You know how they are. They still like to gloat about Reagan bombing Gadaffis house. So what? You could probably have flown over Gadaffis house in a Curtiss Jenny and hurled a hand grenade at it. Besides Reagan never bombed Gadaffis house----the Air Force did.

In fairness to the news folks it's so much different. Before they had 15 minutes to straightfaced tell the news. Now they have to blather like adderrol hyped children for an hour or more about nothing.

Uhhhh... I don't think Calvary is coming. Calvary is the site in Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified, and it's not going anywhere.

Yeah I really should've said navy...Funny how an American flagged vessel got help from the Iranians. Kinda shoots a hole in the bluff, bluster and outright bullshit, that the Iran is a rogue nation.
