Where is your proof of that statement!

By Trump by starting an illegal war!

Just yet another of your useless and pointless posts! No one on a forum is going to provide verifiable proof of their expertise! Just use your expertise (if you have any) to look at the photos you have and you may be able to come up with some probable explanations!

An internal explosion as a result of external damage!

Just because Trump says something normally means it is untrue! In this case he has to start doing something to make make up for his lies and try and make the straits secure! This he cannot do until Iran stops "threating" to attack shipping in the area!! Catch 22!

Sorry but I cannot accept that title! Why have you suddenly abdicated from that (un)exalted position? Is it a way of trying to give that title to such an undeserving creature as myself or any other poster on AN!? You are the master of Troll and must retain your greatly deserved title as it will always be yours!

Probably caused by an internal explosion after the initial strike elsewhere in the ship etc!!!! PS; Have you ever investigated ship loses or commanded a ship?

How could you know anything about the damage from those photos? What is your expertise in maritime loss adjudication claims or is it lust another of your unfounded posts!

What else does it do, if anything?

It only has a very limited capability to do as it depends on the type of ground mine, Acoustic, Pressure, Riser, Combination etc etc! It can never claim to have cleared an area free as it does not know the "ship Count" settings of the mine nor can it destroy many, if any, of them! You need divers or ROV's to do that final check! I suggest that you stop posting about a subject that you only have "internet" so called knowledge of!

"Facts" and "@Yagoda" is an oxymoron!

You have no idea what you're talking about! .

Only in very limited cases and only against certain types of mines and the helicopters have only a very limited way of destroying only certain types!

Why would any warships go into narrow constricted straits and enter an enclosed body of water which they do not control which would put such ships permanently in harms way whilst inside that enclosed body! Please also note the reports of minelaying in that area and that there are at present NO USN minesweeping capabilities in the area! They will only enter restricted waters when the severe threat has GONE!

You have that back to front! Support vessels stay even further away from the danger zone than the operational ships! When the CSG needs refuelling etc it retires to the supply ships, they do not come to the CSG. When operational the CSG can operate at max speed but when doing a RAS they are limited to the speed of the slowest supply ship!

Where is that being said? Current TV and Newspaper reports are saying the opposite!

What has Siberia done to warrant that bunch of losers being foisted on it?

No chance will a CSG, or any major warship, go anywhere the Straits! They will stay at effective striking range of their predetermined targets etc!

They can when they are very rich!

What have the transponders got to do with it. The TSS is saturated by shore based radar systems and most of the ships going through are bound for China!

You mean the gold the Germany and Russia stole Where is your proof that the UK stole Polish old!

Or just turn around?

That is obvious to most! Most of the rest of the world don't care what the NOW irrelevant Americans under Trump think. PS; Except of course when he carries out all his illegal attacks left right and centre around the world and kill innocent people like the schoolkids in Iran!

YES! It is a Dictatorship under Trump in the eyes of what once were your friends and certainly so from ALL the NOW USA/Trump's enemies! PS; As usual your "million dollar" comment, is totally pointless!

I am but you most certainly are not from one that matters to the rest/real world!
