As the battle of the Bubiyan Channel proved, this isn't much of a threat. The USN already has experience sinking Iranian FAC-M - it was about as difficult as clubbing a baby seal.

Clubling seals is tough to do with all those Greenpeace pukes yelling at you and shoving cameras around.

<Darn... we may run low on Sea Skua... - Yimmy If Lynx is to be replaced by Merlin, RN may be running low of platforms to launch them from.

Merlin can't fire Sea Skua?

As I understand it, Merlin is replacing Seaking, not Lynx. Did the USN get many Iraqi FAC's during GW1? I thought most of these were taken out by Lynx/Sea Skua, but will happy to be corrected.

Jack..I'm thinking you are correct, or closer to the truth. The USN did sink several Iranian ships/boats during the "Oil Tanker War" in the 1980s. Which sometimes gets mixed up with the Kuwati war.

Carl S - "The USN did sink several Iranian ships/boats during the "Oil Tanker War" in the 1980s." Do you have any info on how the USN sank these Iranian Boats? (Seahawk with Penguin/Hellfire perhaps?)
