The Pentagon has no information the ships are approaching the Atlantic yet, said Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steve Warren. “To our knowledge, this is an announcement only at this point,” he said. “We are not concerned about their announcement to send ships into the Atlantic. As I said earlier, freedom of the seas applies to every nation.” (Reuters, 10 February)

A 1970's vintage frigate and an unarmed supply ship (hilariously called a "fleet') do not constitute a threat to the US (but mostly to itself) and would be lucky to return home without a major technical breakdown en-route. In any case, despite the idiotic and laughable mullah propaganda, these two antiquated ships will not venture much further than the coast of west Africa (that is the Atlantic for you).
Of course the Top brass is unconcerned. Because this hilarious comedy show is making them laugh themselves loud all the way down the corridors of the Pentagon.
My sympathy goes out to the crews of those three ships heading to the cold and murderous Atlantic Ocean. Just pray those rust buckets hold and don't split apart. Otherwise the chelo kababs are on me.
It's funny to see people claiming here that this is not a concern to them yet, they have spend so much effort repeatedly trying to reassure readers in so many comments. Hilarious.
what's the concern?
this is just some silly propaganda for the ignorant among the Iranians.
Then why are you spending so much effort repeatedly trying to reassure readers in so many comments?
Anon 7:53 PM.....What makes you think Anon 10:29 PM is the only one on this thread to comment about the three rust buckets?
Anon 8:00 AM, do you mean that there is more than one person spending so much effort repeatedly trying to reassure readers in so many comments?
