Iran Posts A Video Tracking A Submerged U.S. Ohio Class Guided-Missile Submarine In The North Arabian Sea

 


The video offers a rare glimpse of an Ohio class guided-missile submarine, one of which is in the region, sailing at periscope depth in tense waters. 

A video has emerged that reportedly shows an Iranian Navy Sea King helicopter flying over what looks to be a U.S. Navy Ohio class guided-missile submarine sailing a periscope depth somewhere in the North Arabian Sea 

This is very likely the USS Georgia, which made an unusually public transit into the Persian Gulf, sending a clear signal to Iran, last month. 

The Iranian Navy claims that the American submarine was operating close to where it has been conducting a major exercise this week and that it left after being detected.

Broad daylight and just under the surface. They intended to be seen. Luckily those super astute Iranians picked it up. That was the US "sending a message" to Iran.

/If they wanted to be clandestine, they'd have come in at night and underneath a tanker.
