[@terrywillson6410]

Iran has 50 or so armed speedboats training on swarming manoeuvres in the Persian Gulf, and despite their small size and low tech, they could seriously damage the US Navy travelling at speeds up to 50 knots. The ships aren’t that great, but excel in the exact areas that the US Navy isn’t well suited to handle. Iran has the first mover advantage against the US, meaning a sneak attack could quickly sink massive US ships, even if they lose their whole speedboat fleet in the process - as is likely. The US Navy stands unmatched on earth in terms of size and ability, but Iran’s ships are small, fast, deadly, and designed specifically to present an asymmetrical threat to the toughest ships on earth. Iran doesn’t have any interest going toe to toe with the US Navy by building its own destroyers or carriers, instead, it’s formed a “guerrilla army at sea” of vicious speedboats with guns, explosives, and some anti-ship missiles. Iran knows they know they can’t win, so they would attack in a very fast way with many, many small ships swarming the US vessels to overwhelm them. For the Iranians, it would be a suicide mission. But in Iran’s struggle to oppose the US at any cost, something it sees as a spiritual matter, they could employ these little ships and irregular warfare to cripple the US Navy. Fast speed boats crammed with cutting edge high explosives, on a suicide mission, are quite capable of punching a massive hole in the side of a warship.

[@stevebarlow3154]

Western Navies are well aware of the threat of swarming. If they see a threat developing they will issue a warning. If the warning is ignored they will open fire, long before any Iranian boat can get close enough to be dangerous.

Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’ 27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ ” Luke 16:19-31
