    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    The ability to deal with the IRGC small craft and coastal sense and strike capabilities are all within NATO's capabilities. But to do so, the Gulf States will need to host and support them and KSA and likley Qatar are not reliable partners, which is going to complicate things.

    Continental Defence Corvette

    Thankfully, much of the yard capitalization and personal skillsets have been built up during those initial contracts. The CDC program will benefit from an experienced design group and experienced sub-contractors, even if built partly in outside yards.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    The West has had a good 4 years to start realizing how drones will affect warfare and decades and decades of how Iran would use small vessels, mines and Anti-ship missiles to help control the waterways near it and we made sure to reduce the capabilities to deal with that.

    I know several people who went into law enforcement , who also did security guard work. Most said it was very useful, as it gave them hands on experience , dealing with all sorts of people, something the schools can't teach. Be interesting to see how many LEO's had prior security guard...
