The support warship Kharg sank near the Iranian port of Jask

The Iranian navy's largest warship caught fire and sank Wednesday in the Gulf of Oman, according to reports.

The support warship Kharg sank under unclear circumstances near the Iranian port of Jask, about 790 miles southeast of Tehran, semiofficial news agencies reported.

Firefighters tried to contain the blaze, which ignited around 2:25 a.m., but efforts to save the Kharg – named after the island that serves as the main oil terminal for Iran – were unsuccessful, according to the Fars and Tasnim news agencies.

Some of the comments..LMAO:

The new Iranian Navy is outfitting their warships with glass bottomed hulls. This is so they can see the Iranian Navy of recent past.

Indeed...camels float a lot better.

All the regional "players" are worried about those Iranian and Iranian-proxy frog men planting limpet mines on their warships while docked. So what do my Egyptian naval friends do?.....during one period of enhanced security, when the Egyptian Navy was active shelling Yemeni targets in support of the Saudis feeble war effort against Iran-supported Houthis, the harbor security guys would chuck satchel charges off the side of the war ships. Fused to detonate under water. To kill any of those pesky saboteur Iranian frog men, of course.

All they actually DID accomplish was to wreck a bunch of the underwater appendages that are part of the stabilization system we delivered and support.

Didn't the Iranian Navy lose a ship to an Italian cruse ship a while back?

Some people would refer to that as job security.

PMS is probably unheard of in the Iranian naval service. They probably think it has something to do with a woman's menstrual cycle.

We do! Got close to a million worth of rework/repair dollars out of that fiasco.

Well, sinking the ship is one way to put out the fire.

But yes, you can't make this stuff up and guess who suspect #1 is? Even though the Iranian Navy has shot up their own boats and had a number of other "accidents"
