that's good, because it would be damned hard to hide one. That and all the other ships with it.

Hah, I was just thinking how funny it would be if they claimed to have captured one of our carries and put it on display in a high school gymnasium like that drone they had.

While I agree with that being about the only possible way Iran is going to put a dent on an aircraft carrier, they tipped their hand when they ran around with those fast boats a few years ago. Trust me, we have adapted strategies to combat that by now. I imagine we have a couple extra boats in the carrier group with mounted .50s that are ready to run screen for just this strategy.

Every year the ships come in for Fleet Week in NYC. After the USS Cole bombing they have clearly made avoiding that a top priority. The difference insecurity one year later was like night and day.
Also these bad boys have been upgraded with FLIR and other toys to engage small crafts in the last decade or so

+1 for you sir. On a side note, I hated this map at first release not because we had played it 5000to times in the demo, but the fact thar the tv missile on the Cobra could reach all the way from the carrier to the MEC base, or vice versa.

I'm more concerned that China may see this as an opportunity to send over some interesting new gadgets - based on the massive amount of defense-contractor espionage over the past 10 years - for the Iranians to test.

Did they actually track the ship, or the media shiat storm following closely behind?

It's funny that those Iranian soldiers/sailors are using the ACU camouflage pattern developed by an American company for the US army. So much for their national pride.

CorpGovMedia is trying so desperately to jack up the price of gas and trying to rustle up some fear boners so they can get more govt funding for the war machine.
If this headline is any indication, maybe a few americans have finally caught on to the CorpGovMedia game.

I'm not a big fan of oil, but I do like the war machine. The point has been made a million times over by other trolls, but honestly, can anyone point to a better way to develop new technology than by fighting?

The CWIS systems on the Aegis cruisers that accompany any carrier has got that covered and then some. Anything that can tack and destroy an ASM in flight isn't going to find a dinghy too much of a challenge

Sure. Peaceful, but bitter rivalry between nations. Just look at the space race.
Or just plain basic R&D funding, combined with commercialization. The computer revolution was hardly brought about by warfare.
