The Nagging Question: Did Shared Intelligence Sink the Iranian Frigate? Under the military pacts COMCASA and LEMOA, India and the U.S. share sensitive maritime data. If a U.S. attack submarine used shared data to locate and sink an Iranian frigate that had just departed an Indian port after participating in a multilateral naval exercise, it would represent a foundational breach of the defense partnership. A Moudge-class frigate such as the IRIS Dena, even if fully armed, would be no match for a U.S. nuclear-powered attack submarine operating in India’s maritime backyard. But the circumstances matter. If the Dena carried little or no munitions — as the “peace protocol” of India’s MILAN-2026 exercise requires — the strike looks less like combat than a premeditated execution. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has emphasized that the Dena was a “guest of the Indian Navy” and was struck “without warning” while in a non-combat posture. Such a claim is not implausible. In multilateral naval exercises focused on camaraderie and collaboration, visiting warships typically do not carry a full combat load of live munitions, unless required for a scheduled live-fire drill. During MILAN exercise’s harbor phase in Visakhapatnam, participating ships are required to remain in a “safe” configuration. That phase includes public tours, diplomatic events and a fleet review, all of which require strict safety protocols. Even during the sea phase, where operational drills and live-fire events occur, the ammunition carried is tightly controlled and limited to what is required for specific drills. If the Dena left the exercise area in such a restricted configuration, the imbalance between target and attacker becomes stark: a lightly armed — or possibly unarmed — guest ship departing a cooperative exercise, tracked and destroyed by the world’s most sophisticated undersea warfare platform.

Our watch gets over when the Ship leaves territorial water. Not till they get home. Their country is at war. They should have stayed in shelter of India. In international waters, they had Not sought an escort from Indian Navy. And the incident is off the Sri Lankan coast...not India.

For those too young to have ever used one, floppy disks were not as floppy as you’d suspect.
