abc bcd + 1 September 13, 2019 This is the first time I see the ship's home port (painted at astern) name misaligned. Lol. And then they painted some alpha digits unnecessarily. And by the way, let me test few maritime consultants here as to what these Alpha Digits represent. Go Google if you are lucky. Will post my answer on this later.

Douglas Buckland + 6,308 September 13, 2019 20 hours ago, Jan van Eck said: Iran would drop a string of mines across the Strait. These could be either contact or magnetic mines. Any ship passing over would get blown up. To understand the effectiveness of mines, peruse the Turkish use of them in the Dardanelles during WWI. Churchill, then Vice Lord of the Admiralty (or Maybe Sea Lord, I forget) sent the fleet up the Dardanelles, they all got totally hammered by the mines set there. Mines are effective weapons, for which the wooden-hulled minesweeper was developed. Still a risky business to de-activate them. And the Iranians can lay a fresh batch. Mines are cheap; ships are expensive; classical asymmetric warfare. Do you consider mines as asymmetric warfare? Wouldn’t you define laying mines as a military action?

Guest September 14, 2019 (edited) Gibraltar’s leader attempted to deescalate the crisis with Iran over the fate of an oil tanker on Friday, saying it was “difficult to see” whether Tehran breached an agreement not to sell its oil to Syria. This bit kinda tells you everything. First sentence. Edited September 14, 2019 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
