CitizenVectron Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 If a carrier went down and hundreds died (or even thousands), yeah, I'm 95% sure that Iran would be struck in ways that are disproportional. Not nuclear, but I could see massive air attacks on industrial facilities, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Graham is war hawking to the media. ABC News is saying he's clearly trying to reach Trump through the media that he's being tested by Iran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also why the Navy wants to tie it's point defense systems to AI (crew might not react fast enough to a hypersonic) and wants 1mw lasers since current systems use small missiles and machine guns, and lasers don't run out of ammo.    The other consideration is that Iran would be in complete control over deescalation since Iran is fortress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentWorld Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Man if this plays out with an aircraft carrier getting immobilized or even sunk, like has the US navy suffered a comparable loss to that since WWII?  Think of the movies that could be made in the coming decades!

TomCat Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 It will be hard as hell for them to sink a carrier. My navy is well versed in preventing thier ships from sinking after attack.   I anticipate a big missle attack on Irans  Refineries so they cant produce any oil to export Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
