UK Military Warning To Iran Over Strait Closure

[Harleyman]

It's not known as the forgotten war for nothing.

 

Basically North Korea Kicked the South's ass, the UN backed force then kicked the North Korea's ass, then China kicked the UN's ass, then MacArthur wanted to nuke China and Truman sacked MacArthur; after which the situation settled down.

 

Still a very dangerous place for a future conflict

I think that technically the Korea's are still at war.

I've make no claim at all, you can do your own research on HMS Daring, but I did I read that on exercise the 'Merkins asked them to turn Daring's RADAR off because it was spoiling their game.

 

You should be pleased that it's on your side.

 

 

 

Edit: The phrase the US Navy used was that Daring was ""constraining the training" .

And you should be grateful that the United States Navy is on your side. Insulting a service that has served the West honorably during and since ww2 should , if there was any truth in it, should come from those who have served at sea in company with the American fleet. I for one have never had occasion to complain, and made many friends with their seamen.

I took the trouble to read up on the Daring on wikopedia. She is certainly an attractive vessel, and reasonably quick. Her main armaent is a single barrel deck cannon, there are also some 20 mil machine guns just in case any aircraft should chance to get through all those missiles. But otherwise, she's not a lot better off than the old type 42s, other than the fact that she has E Mail capability, and space for female sailors, something which I never was forced to experience. The " large " flight deck abaft is no bigger than what is able to land a Lynx helicopter anywhere. I believe there are several escort vessels in the US navy that are similar, though they may be nuclear instead. The submariners in Groton call them targets.

hi/buck the problem with some of these weapons systems is that they're out of date in a short space of time ,I've worked on ffg"s and anzac class "frigates on weapons and sys coms for years .that single barrel deck cannon as you call it, as usually got an anti aircraft range of about 4 Km the only problem with that is the aircraft now usually fire their misslies from about20Km away,

 

the machine guns which I"ve installed (typhoon and mini typhoon}aren't fast enough to take out misslies= 50 cal 12.7mm 200 rounds a minute.

 

 

so you're left with 'cwis"(the" coffee grinder" or "fart of death" as i've heard it called )4500rounds a minute. as a last defence .

 

when the frigates are deployed up the gulf there's at least half a dozen spread round a carrier as for "targets", in the oz navy they're called "missile spongers"

 

decoy misslie's are starting to become very trendy at the moment:hihi:
