One was destroyed by a WW2 torpedo in the argentine "conflict" launched by a modern hunter killer submarine.

The Assad regime and its Allawite dogs are illegitmate who will be grinded in meat mincers soon. The Allawites is a minority and the Sunni majority is sick of their tyranny. Every dog has its day and this day is over. The sooner they run the higher the chance of their survival and I hope they dont run so that he and his goons are shot in the streets of damascus.

They recently involved a number of Asian vassals, I mean allies in war games with numerous naval elements-that pointedly excluded China from participation. They are also moving elements of the 5th fleet to 'protect' and secure the Straights of Hormuz from possible closure by the Iranians. So while millions of Americans are out of work, losing their jobs and homes-having their pensions and medical insurance cut-the US government spends millions on expensive and redundant 'war games' with taxpayer dollars. Meanwhile millions of returning and existing veterans are homeless, jobless and filling American jails. Recruiting an army from volunteers will prove impossible this time. No American politician has the stomach to advocate a new draft. Now both presidential candidates are offering a 'green card' for undocumented immigrants to fight America's wars. Don't we remember a Roman empire that resorted to mercenaries when Roman citizens refused to fight for the empire-as it collapsed. Talk about an empire spending its way to economic ruin. Bluster and bluff are the characteristics of a barking dog. Usually one very afraid and hoping that its' restraining chain doesn't break.
