Supply ships to Georgia....
« on: September 09, 2008, 05:39:56 PM »
From what I read, and heard, the US sent supply ships to Georgia, after the recent Russia attacks. What the russians did to return the favor, they sent 2 battleships to Cuba.
I don't know if this has been posted before, but this is just recent, can anyone find an article about it?

The Venezuelan Navy is a joke.  6 frigates and two sub par diesel/electric boats.  Add 6 PC and a dozen support ships.  Their Coast Guard has 2 frigates and about 20 PC, some of which are ex-US CG ships.

We'd have them on the bottom in two days max.
