The #Trump regime seems bereft of any knowledge & competence. In January the #USNavy decommissioned the last 4 #minesweepers in the #PersianGulf.
They never considered #Iran closing the #StraitOfHormuz, let alone the #IRGC ‘s #Armageddon strategy.
And, of course, firing #oil & #gas experts as well 👇🏻

Europe erodes Western alliance by refusing Trump minesweepers ask#Block2 #DonaldTrump #EuropeUS #IranWar #Minesweepers #NATO #Opinion #PersianGulf #StraitofHormuz

U.S. Navy #Minesweepers Assigned To #MiddleEast Have Been Moved To #Pacific (Updated)

Two of the three #LittoralCombatShips that had taken over the #minesweeping role in the Middle East have just appeared in Malaysia. These ship moveemts seem odd

Strange.. Donald Trump seeks #minesweepers from other Navies for Strait of Hormuz while US sends two of its own specialised mine countermeasure vessels 3,000 miles away to Malaysia. #Seascapes Newsletter on Linked In.

In case #US #USA has some friends left in #Europe there is a large fleet of #MineWarfare #MCM #MineCounterMeasures #MineSweepers in #BalticSea #BayOfMecklenburg at the moment .... 🤷‍♂️

Minesweepers memoir in Katajanokka Helsinki.

Iltalenkin varrelta. Pappani ei ollut rintamalla koska oli lapsena menettänyt toisen keuhkonsa mutta konemestarina korjasi sotalaivoja telakalla. Miinanraivaukseen osallistui myös heti välirauhan solmimisen jälkeen. #history #juoksutaivas #runhappy #runningsky #minesweepers

Any other #minesweepers that have cats like this?

At the jetty in Kiel, Germany, cruisers Köln & Karlsruhe are at anchor with Type 1935 Minesweepers MS 1 & 2 surrounded by R Class shallow water minesweepers.
