I think this used to be the Swift, one of a few high speed cats used by the US a few years back.

Probably a C802 missile used here, the same type that was used against the Hanit in 2006

Interesting times.

I can't imagine the UAE is going to be happy about this. Things just got much hotter in yemen.

Might want to check those Chinese missile fragments for Iranian fingerprints.

You attack people, they fight back.

Nothing about it on MSN, Yahoo or USA today, but you can read about the Kardashions. I finally found the story on CNN.

I definitely wouldn't want to be onboard one of those HSC warships while under attack. Having travelled on one of the channel island ferries (also built by Incat the same company that built the swift)iknow that they are of a very light (almost flimsy) construction.

Big, floating beer cans.

And loud as all hell, one of those HSVs was drowning out contacts less than half as far away.

Strange how little this story has made the news…

Latest on the 'sinking' of Swift:

She survived but was badly gutted by the fire. Per reports, she is under tow to Eritrea.
