Unless I missed it, most of the ships were not flying the US flag.
Is that because the photos were taken before the ships were accepted by the Navy or what? Don't US military ships normally fly the US flag? I never thought about it before. |

Have to ask:
While I realize that perspective can be difficult to rationalize in pictures, the cruiser and the destroyer look to be about the same size. What is the difference? |

Considering both of the ones present in Yemen are 510ft, I figured it'd be a fair number. I suppose you're crying about the 5 feet. |

Iran has a few Kilos and Yugos (submarines) that could pose a legitimate threat. Obviously, their competence level and technology is nowhere near ours, but under the right circumstances, they could cause some trouble before being destroyed. |
