  2.  @AMG-ce3cr  mate, the truth is, your military, if you are Iranian, cannot face down a conventional US military force you would be anihilated. Asymetric warfare is all you have, and luckily for you America has had enough of that kind of warfare for the time being.

  3. The RN Warship wasnt there , it was an hour away, there was either a conversation between the RN and the Tanker Skipper or they tracked the Iranians closing in on the tankers position. Little they could do.

  4. An hour, only if they were 20 Nm away, but I gave you the transit time not the distance. Do you understand or do I need to expand? Secondly they were escorting another Tanker, what would you do as the Montrose CO?

  5.  @randombastid725  By the way, nobody asked anybody to turn around 360*, "three six zero" is a compass heading, North towards Iranian waters. HMS Montrose is the ship you were slagging off.

  6.  @randombastid725  I notice you deleted your answer regarding basic navigation, but I can still see it. Man, you arent the brightest are you.

  7.  @CROsigliere  Thats a serious escalation, a shooting war would ensue we would lose due to lack of assets.

  9. By the way the fleet isn't the immediate problem it's manpower and it's also why surface units are tied up alongside instead of being on Ops.

  10. It`s a compass heading.
