#2 hehe Matt , one overlook , anything with a 'holy defence' aint gonna last long *chuckle* .

I prefer to have a robust solid defence with a few contingency plans thrown in to be sure.

Also , if the boats are on display , seems like a perfect opportunity to destroy the damn things ..any Iranian student bored and wanna bomb something ? its all the rage in the middle east ya know :P

#3 No, guys. This is a job for the vaunted Iraqi Commandos, with a little help from the SBS. They are Iraqi ships, after all, and the delivery still needs to be made.
