Speedboats are the only thing that has worked so far.
You really have to be a kool-aid drinker
to entertain the idea that five Iranian speedboats could credibly threaten a US Navy warship.
No, no. You'd have to be nuts to fly an attack aircraft or sail a large ship at the US Navy because that's the threat they're designed for. The only thing that's done any serious damage to US Navy in the Gulf was the speedboat attack on the USS Cole. You can bet that has been drummed into the young sailor's heads.
And it isn't obvious from the shots I've seen that the boats are Iranian at first. It's the confusion that takes over.
