Iran plans naval deployment to Atlantic
If I understand it right....the Iranian ship was launched in December was it?
How long does it take to commission the ship, man it, train the crew, work out all the snags in the ship's systems....then detail the support ships and other vessels in the flotilla....arrange for logistical support....undertake some flotilla training ops....and finally get underway?
Then there is that tricky question of safe havens for the flotilla should maintenance issues arise.
I am not suggesting we sink them....as that would create more problems than just letting them go about their business under the "Freedom of Navigation" rules that we use for our cruising about places that don't want us there.
That being said....if they were to commit an act that constitutes armed aggression I am sure it would be dealt with rapidly without much hand wringing and hesitation.
