#1 Of course the submarine wasn't detected by radar. Radar doesn't detect submerged submarines. Sonar does.

Could he provide a few more relevant details, like what ship, was the ship underway, etc., to prove what he claims?

#2 Actually, this was true. The emblem was embedded there by the ship running over the sub and sinking it....

#3 More like a camel turd stain on the bottom of the ship and couple of floating diapers in the surf.

IRG? Go take a bus ride loosers. The proxy has come to you. Spit.

#4 A bold action by a rock thrower in a canoe with a crayon.

#5 So they've resorted to tagging like gangbangers in the USA. Forgive me if I'm unimpressed by a military that has an opportunity and uses it to etch their logo instead of doing damage. Forgive me if I'm unimpressed by a military that lays on the bullcrap so thick even an Arab couldn't believe it.

#6 What would someone use to "carve" into a U.S. ship? Let's face it, they're not made of wood anymore.

#7 Does the IRG logo look suspiciously like "Do not paint" or "No Step", etc.?

#8 I am tring to think how a swimmer could exit an iranian sub, swim to an anchored greyhull and then "etch" a symbol on the hull, and then swim back an re-enter a submerged submarine.

I do not think the black hat navy has that capability.

#9 A real coupe-counter would get a picture, else no honor.

#10 I do not think the black hat navy has that capability.

Do it at night from a surfaced sub. That's why they claim to have eluded radar. Those IRG guys are lucky. We only dreamed of pranks like this in high school. Watch for moustaches to show up on Bush photos at the White House web site.

#11 I'd take them at their word. They attacked a US military vessel. Causus belli.
