Hats off to Smitty, veteran of a sea battle. Pretty neat!

The navy guys in the latest situation deserve some more free beers too.

They had the discipline and coolness NOT to fire first. The Iranians would have LOVED it at the U.N. if the U.S. HAD fired first.

Hey check out this Video the U.S. Navy released Today, it clearly shows a Cigarette 31 Bullet being used by the Iranian Navy, Check it out! This time the term Cigarette boat was used correctly

It could not immediately be determined what was in the boxes.......I bet they blew them to kingdom come Nice little target practice. You know they would not be crazy enough to get close to them....I bet a 50mm cannon took care of them..

TRUST ME Those idiots have NO idea of the MASS FIREPOWER of a US Navel warship's potential..........neither do 90% of the civilians!

Being in the Marines for 8 years, I have a real good firsthand idea of firepower...and technology is better today than when I got out 10 years ago. I used to love doing excercises (we call it CAX- Combined Arms Exercise) the tanks, LAV's, aircraft and guns, rockets, missles being fired was AWESOME!!!! When you can witness this, (TV is not the same) you get the real meaning of the word POWER !!

What kind of speedboat is that?
Heres a link to a pic for those of you that didn't see it.
The next pic should have been that thing in pieces floating on the water.
