    Bro a single Nimitz has more ciws than most navies and you know a literal air force, they’re old they are by no means obsolete countries would literally kill to take one whole.

      US carrier groups have proven vulnerable to diesel-electric subs every time they come up to the nordics for an exercise. You can’t hit a sub with CIWS, only torpedoes and that’s if you know where they are.

      Nordic navies have scored consistent simulated hits against US carrier groups from subs.

      Their main defence against this is to stay the fuck away and use jets from afar. Which, if what is said above is true, they are not doing.

        Let’s hear again how many diesel subs iran has and how many destroyers we have? How many in a battle group? Oh for that matter how many subs are in a battle group?

        Nords have and have had an incredibly powerful navy for most of their history, Iran not so much.

        They can’t strike willy nilly, you’d be baffled at how close Russians do fly bys.
