    Hoping some other “first since WW2” stuff happens to american destroyers. Carriers if I’m really lucky

      Given Iran’s inability to hit warships, Iran’s entire navy now sunk, and the vast majority of their missile launchers destroyed; getting a hit on an American carrier in the middle of a carrier taskforce is almost nill.

        Pretty bold claims, let’s see how they true they end up being.

        I don’t disagree about the carrier of course, it would basically be a miracle for them to pull it off. But a DDG is not out of the question.

          Yeah, if we start sending destroyer escorts though the Straight of Hormuz, decent chance one catches an Iranian missile eventually.
