#6 So how many oarsmen does the tanker use up a day? Or did they splurge and buy an engine from someone?

#9 Iran repor still wants to build a Nuclear Submarine(s).

"SIX MILYUHN-DOLLAR MAN" OPENING = D *** NG IT, GENTLEMEN, THEY CAN BUILD IT, THEY HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY. Iran sezzes they have the Will + the Engineers, etal. + the Knowledge!

As per Iran's preferred "Japan/Egypt" Nuclear Models, unlike the two namesake countries whose warships remain "defensively" close to home [coasts + peripherals], Iran's naval agenda is apparen more "offensive" than Iran cares to publicly admit.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > REPORT: IRAN'S NEXT STEP - 50% ENRICHMENT.

versus

* WORLD NEWS > IRAN NOT TO CLOSE THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ AS LONG AS IT USES WATERWAY: IRGC COMMANDER.

* WORLD NEWS > OFFICIAL: IRAN CAN PRODUCE NUCLEAR FUEL FOR SHIPS.

* SAME > KHAMENEI AIDE:IRAN WILL INCREASE ENRICHMENT IFF WORLD PRESSURES PERSIST.

Up to 50-to-56% enrichment.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IRAN'S STRATEGY IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ: IRAN WOULD HAVE MUCH TO LOSE [espec Economically] IN CLOSING THE STRAIT. IFF TEHRAN'S SECURITY IS ENDANGERED, IT MIGHT CHOOSE A "MEASURED" RESPONSE, as part of its national
"defensive deterrence" strategem agz the US-Allies.
