#1 The Iranians will test this strategy by frontal positioning their ships then claim the US violated the 100 meter rule. Will they move or risk being “blown” out of the lane?

#9 Maybe have a submarine surface from underneath, or better, a breach exercise. Surprise Iran!

Emergency blow!
Full rise. Fair water plane.
Come on, big D. Fly.

(Red October, scene where the Dallas does an emergency breach to dodge and decoy a torpedo).
