In reply to the discussion: Iran Is Freaking Out Over The Second US Carrier On Its Way To The Gulf [View all]Swede Atlanta
(3,596 posts)10. Yeah right......
While I do not believe Iran is as militarily impotent as Iraq was before our unlawful invasion of that country, I also do not believe Iran is a match for a U.S. aircraft carrier. I firmly believe the U.S. Navy is fully capable of protecting the Enterprise wherever it is not only because of the sophistication of the technology and weapons aboard but also the skill and capability of our armed men and women.

completely ridiculous notion - a carrier is never alone - they have their own battle group

They have 400 Sunburn Missiles. Maybe even more. Deployed on the coast. Hidden.

"Freaking out" is just the sort of nomenclature that inspires journalistic respect.
