I don't know what I am talking about? Lol.

i am not tryna be funny trust me you don't know what you talkin bout

you guys are saying US Navy has no chance against Iran in Persian Gulf, and I say US Navy can operate well out of Persian Gulf, and still conduct its operations.

not only persian gulf Oman sea or Makran sea and small part of indian ocean

 

[Azeri440]

the effective range of this one is 1000 KM .
so go have look where will be 1000 KM in Indian ocean . the you realize you talking nonsense . and then look of Iranian naval bases .

actually Block IV has a range of 1600km

i am not tryna be funny trust me you don't know what you talkin bout


not only persian gulf Oman sea or Makran sea and small part of indian ocean

I don't know bro, you can't even respond to messages properly, hard to trust you

not only persian gulf Oman sea or Makran sea and small part of indian ocean

Lol, k. and US Navy can still operate outside of those zones

 

[yavar]

actually Block IV has a range of 1600km

yes but if they want to strike inside Iran territory. that why i said effective range 1000 KM

 

[Azeri440]

yes but if they want to strike inside Iran territory. that why i said effective range 1000 KM

ok, so 1000kms away from Iranian coast, what do you do?

 

[yavar]

Lol, k. and US Navy can still operate outside of those zones

you see this is problem . you keep saying outside danger zone . ok but what is more important is operational zone and effective .

so by keep saying outside danger zone you want be able to give U.S navy capability

ok, so 1000kms away from Iranian coast, what do you do?

if this didn't happen people could said oh i am making things up but it happened

effective range more then 2000 KM

The effective range is dependent on the kind of warfare carried out, if it's the short type of warfare that Iran and US were engaged in previously, coastal targets are well within the range.

and your video is irrelevant, its basically a civilian ship of UAE navy, not US
US navy ship actually managed to take down 2 missiles heading towards it and take out the launch sites.

Can you read the words "land attack" in the title
doesn't US also have a base in Djibouti, they can take a 20 minute bus ride and will be right there

yeh managed to take down 2 missiles ?? really

what about this one is this one was civilian as well
guess what on top of suez canal in mediterranean sea we can do same

 

[Azeri440]

yeh managed to take down 2 missiles ?? realy

wow, its almost like Israeli Navy and US Navy are 2 different things

US Navy ships have nearly 100 cells that can be packed with SM-2 and SM-3 Long Range Missiles
Israeli Navy at that time had Barak-1 missiles with a range of 12 kms
and I am not even comparing the radars on both ships.

@Penguin

FULLY AGREE. FOLKS, PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC.

Post 2 and 3 provided a start with analysis of apparent differences between the new and existing ships. That is a good avenue to pursue further. Another useful comparison is with ships of similar role or tonnage in the Persian Gulf region and around the Arabian Sea. Or even a little farther out (see e.g. new ships of Myanmar and North Korea).

I believe the USN capabilities are already very well known, both in a quantitative and qualitative sense. The Iranian capabilities less so. Everytime a thread is turned into US v Iran, mostly due to respective (but irrelevant) nationalism and pride, the underlying discussion and analyses of systems die, which is a waste of forum space.

Please provide informed arguments and make source reference when possible

why blocks of metal sheeting ? ..why not smooth surface like one piece ? ...talking about exterior of ship.
