While it may not be a declared war via Congress, we are in a war none-the-less. So, no one — most particularly the mad mullahs of Iran — should be surprised that we are engaging in unconditional warfare against their navy. After all, Pete and company have been adamant from the start that the Iranian Navy was going to be completely destroyed.
So, it seems one of our attack subs (most likely, not formally identified yet) became the first U.S. submarine officially to sink an enemy surface ship since WWII. The footage is rather spectacular BTW.
Given how long it has been since the Silent Service has done anything more than drills and practice shots, you know they are pumped. I also imagine all the other subs are wishing they were in position to do the same. This is also triggering some thoughts as we have not fought against anyone with a full-spectrum military (army, navy, etc.) in a while and we need to be thinking, re-thinking, and adapting to a rapidly changing environment.
