🇮🇷🇰🇵🇺🇲REPORT; Stimulation Confirm IRAN’s NORTH KOREA'S Attack Submarines Can Sink U.S. Navy Carrier Groups Following confirmation that the Iranian Navy had deployed its North Korean origin lightweight attack submarines for operations the Strait of Hormuz, most notably the Ghadir class which was produced under license based on Korean designs and technologies, significant questions have been raised the ships’ ability to threaten high value U.S. Navy assets at sea. An assessment of the performances of other types of diesel-electronic submarines with comparable capabilities against the U.S. Navy during simulated exercises provide valuable insight into potential vulnerabilities which U.S. carrier groups and other assets may face if engaging these ships. The significant numbers which Iran deploys, and the challenging sonar conditions in the Strait of Hormuz, may exacerbate this challenge. While it remains uncertain whether Iranian crews’ training meets the standards of their North Korean counterparts, other arms of the country’s armed forces have proven to be well prepared for engagements with U.S. forces, resulting in a so far highly unfavourable outcome for the U.S.-led war effort.
