#2 "US Navy" or "UN Navy"? Don't think PRESS TV really knows the difference.

I'd expect 'coal fired boilers' in the UN version, though.

#4 The sources did not rule out the possibility that a blast had started the fire on the vessel that was said to be "one of the four US warships in the region," the report added.

I'll bet the same sources did not rule out the possibility the fire was actually a reflection caused by the desert sun glinting off the leprechauns pot-o-gold, which was being unloaded by crane for delivery to the zionist paymasters secret offices in downtown Umm O'Qasr, or something like that.
