Saw Ships, Sank Same
Artificial Reef
9 Iranian naval ships have been destroyed and sunk, Trump says
By Beth Sullivan and J.D. Simkins
U.S. President Donald Trump announced Sunday that nine Iranian naval ships have been sunk as part of combat operations against Iran.
“I have just been informed that we have destroyed and sunk 9 Iranian Naval Ships, some of them relatively large and important,” Trump wrote in a post on X, adding that Iran’s naval headquarters has been “largely destroyed” in a different attack.
“We are going after the rest — They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea, also!” Trump wrote.
U.S. Central Command officials said earlier Sunday that an Iranian Jamaran-class corvette was struck by U.S. forces at the beginning of Operation Epic Fury.
“The ship is currently sinking to the bottom of the Gulf of Oman at a Chah Bahar pier,” the statement reads. “As the president said, members of Iran’s armed forces, IRGC and police ‘must lay down your weapons.’ Abandon ship.”
The IRIS frigate Jamaran was commissioned in 2010 and is considered one of Iran’s more capable warships. Was, anyway. Sunk at pier-side.
Insh’allah, motherfuckers.
Soon to come, Pax Americana
Not sure they “float” at the bottom of the sea. Not sure if they were “important” either. We are talking about 60+ year old obsolete vessels that were little more than floating targets for air power. Still, danger to local shipping was the threat. Very soon Iran will no longer be a significant threat to peace and stability to the region (and the world) for the first time since 1979.
Symbolically sinking the navy has to sting a little. Soon every tool they have will be on fire or broken.
So far Kuwait has accounted for more air craft shoot downs than the entire country of Iran. They dropped 3 US F15E Strike Eagles getting ready to land at Ali Salam AB. All crews recovered safely but it would be nice to have those planes back.
3 US F-15s mistakenly shot down by Kuwait but all crew safe
Any ship they have,regardless of how old poses a threat. Nothing to keep them from loading the boat to the gills with explosives and sending on a suicide/ martyr mission to inflict as much damage on us as possible. If we learned anything from Iraq and Afghanistan, it should be don’t trust the fuckers and deny them any opportunity to have or make weapons.
“Not sure they “float” at the bottom of the sea.”
Seems like the would make great artificial reefs no matter how the got there. Don’t really care, but hopefully they had some crew aboard.
When Trump said “float,” I think he meant it ironically.
2026-2010=60? Otherwise agree!
The Alvand class frigates were last built in the UK in the 60s. Iran reversed engineered them to make a few more in the early 2000s. I suppose they were updated somewhat to make the Moudge it’s own class with some assistance from Russia to have updated weapons systems but it is still quite an old design. Like most things Iran makes, they tend to be less effective.
Several of the newer vessels had sunk or were severely damaged years before the war started through misadventure and poor seamanship.
While officially Frigates they are more like Corvette size and capability they seldom leave the Gulf or the coast of Iran. By comparison a single Legend Class USCG Cutter has displacement three times the size of an Iranian Frigate while also being a Frigate itself.
Kuwait……dropped 3 US F15E Strike Eagles getting ready to land at Ali Salam AB….
Give no Quarter, Take no Quarter.
I don’t care where the Iranian navy floats, as long as it isn’t at the surface.
I wonder if the squids on the remaing ships are running sinking pools on the time and date they will be sunk. we had anchor pools on board but I never won anything, and am thinking why the deck apes seem to win all the time…seems like the guy hitting the pelican hook with the sledge hammer won a few times.
I read this, in Frank’s voice…
” Any Allied personnel, Any Allied personnel…Saw Ships, Sank Same”
Well, that is certainly great news to hear today. I’d say something about Davy Jones accepting the Iranian sailors, but he doesn’t want their hides. Neither does God or the devil for that matter.
