The aircraft carrier the USS Stennis will start heading back to the Middle East next week, returning ahead of schedule to meet any new threats from Iran. The move comes amid tensions over Iran's nuclear program and new signs that Iran is boosting its own naval capability. CNN senior international correspondent Dan Rivers has the details.

80mph isn't that fast when crossing vast expanses of ocean, and they could only obtain those speeds on relatively calm seas. This tactic is easily defeated by keeping the ships 100 miles out. They would be exposed and defenseless for over an hour. It would be the great marianas turkey shoot on steroids. An attack coordinated with rough seas would render the Iranian boats useless. Carrier aircraft can easily cover 100 miles in under 10 minutes. The Iranians are full of bluster.
No 80 mph on the water is extremely fast.

fools they can produce many of them arm them with high ordinaces then kamakazi them in to the sides of ships. An aircraft carrier can not defend against 500 of these comming at it regardless of air support. In short it would be like a bee swarm going after a bear. The danger is that the boats can become a force that can not be stopped if the numbers are great. Not only can they swarm on see but can swarm up river in to towns and cities creating a massive blow inland with little deterrent. Also remember that this boat can be setup as a DRONE just like the one Isreal has now that was constructed by BAE systems. These boats can be quickly be produced in the tens of thousands and deployed and controled by satelite, short wave and IIP control. They can also be laden with ordinances that are conventional (boom), biological, nuclear and hybrid. I have a simulator. I ran a scenario of 250 boats attacking three US carriers. They all went to the bottom. A country like IRAN will produce thousands of these. Remember they are all fiberglass hulls so there is no real cost to produce these types of weapons.
