Thought I was going to read that pirates attacked them. The Captain is reporting it was a torpedo.

I know Bolton is salivating and probably putting a war dossier together.

Damn you Trump!!

He doesn’t have to put one together. He just needs to wipe the dust off of it.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

I doubt torpedo but the ships attacked last month were hit by mines. Iran is just having fun.

Oh yeah. Bolton drafted up his war plans for Iran during the period he spent avoiding the Vietnam war.

I know there's scenarios for every country already on the shelf. I believe it.

Gulf of Tonkin?

Who has motive?

Of those I'm imagining, Iran seems the least likely.

Well, what do you know?

The next move will be having the 5th fleet to escort vessels in the region. Hopefully the Iranians haven't completely gone rogue and attempt to fire on another vessel under escort.

 

[Velo Vol]

A win-win for the Saudis.

I'm not trying to send anyone's kids to fight another war in the ME. Wee bit of a difference, wouldn't you say?

Gulf of Tonkin?

Strait of Hormuz

One carrying Naptha headed for Japan. The other a Japanese ship carrying Methanol.

Are torpedos ONLY launched from submarines???

 

[davethevol]

Maybe Iran did this, but it seems like they would understand they will be destroyed if this escalates which makes me think they aren’t behind this.

Did it say whether or not Dewayne "the Rock" Johnson could redirect a torpedo with his bare hand?
