By Micah Halpern
Saturday January 12, 2013 I've Been Thinking: It happened again yesterday. And it is extremely embarrassing. A US nuclear submarine struck a ship in the Straits of Hormuz. No one was hurt. But the periscope of the sub was destroyed. Evidently, the sub hit a fishing boat with its periscope. No damage was done to the civilian fishing vessel. According to an official Navy report, after the incident the fishing boat continued along unnoticed and unchanged in speed. The statement from the 5th fleet reads "continued on a consistent course and speed offering no indication of distress or acknowledgment of a collision." This is just one of many instances of US naval ships ramming one another and other vessels in the very narrow, very crowded, Straits of Hormuz. It proves several important points: The home team advantage goes to Iran which has much smaller subs. Believe me, the Iranians are getting a good laugh about this - and it is at the expense of the United States. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
