About two months ago, Iran sent a fleet (of two ships) to cruise off the US Eastern seaboard. Anybody know what happened with that? I couldn't find anything after the "sending" announcement. |

I imagine it's like that episode of Black Adder where they said they were going, actually planned on doing a couple secret loops around the gulf of sidra ( Isle of wight) but actually ended up wildly off course somewhere around Tobago or Madagascar. |

They sent the Iranian stealth ships |

They went home. And no, they never reached the Atlantic. link Probably a good idea too. The weather here this winter was really bad with a couple of Nor'easters blowing through. It would have been seriously embarrassing to Iran's Navy if they floundered and required US Coast Guard assistance. |

Hmmm, perhaps those African pirates scared them a bit….. |

Thanks for the link. I figured nothing came of it, but couldn't find anything. |

2 months out to sea and they did not even get to the Atlantic ocean? Wonder how this was "spun" back in Iran. |

An auspicious, and victorious cruise, no doubt….. |

They landed in New York harbour, captured the Q-bomb, and went home. Simples. cheers |

Visiting Grand Fenwick for a "port call" in nearby France? Look out for the mouse… |
