#5 If they pump it full of insulation foam, they may be able to use it twice. The calculations for the righting moment might be tricky. The AA batteries would be useful against subs on the second operation. Make sure the crew wears their water wings.

#6 Russia just might sink it in the Strait of Hormuz (if they can work a deniability angle.)

#8 If it were Russian flagged, it might sink on it's own.

#9 The USA can’t sink it unless there is war. Sub sailors talk…. The only way it could be done is to ram it and declare it an accident.

#10 Our last naval war with Iran just lasted hours. Then they will have a new list of martyrs to name targets after.

#11 Question....what if the garbage catches fire...how will they put it out? They're just 'remodeling' a garbage scow right?
