#1 And your missiles would be within reach of the 101st Airborne, for starters.

#3 We've been hearing this crap for years. It has gotten to the point that I'd love to see the US launch a few a SMs and fire up the CIWSs, just to teach Iran a lesson. Just to set an example before anyone else feels like being belligerent for the wrong reasons.

#6 Actually since Iran borders the Persian Gulf their hand grenades can reach the Persian Gulf. If the ships get within 3 miles even a primitive rocket could get near them.

Its a bit like saying that Russian missiles can now hit the Caspian Sea.

#8 I seems to remember them lighting off a few Chinese Silkworm anti-ship missles a number of years ago. Old news.
