Prog orthodoxy is truer than the truth.

The Dena was a bit over 1600 tons and was armed with a 76 mm (~3") gun, anti-ship missiles, SAMs, and torpedoes (as well as 20 and 40 mm cannon).

A reminder to all DUers reposting content from social media: Check your sources
Given the situation in the Middle East, it's understandable that people want to bring the most up-to-date information they can find to DU. In principle, I'm absolutely not opposed to that. In practice, however, it means that some of the content now being brought to DU is being reposted from sources which are not appropriate for our community.
I am talking about social media sources which traffic in right-wing content, racist content, homophobic content, antisemitic content, and conspiracy content, including anti-vax conspiracy theories. Or, more often than not, all of the above.
I will note that DU's "Don't peddle right-wing talking points, smears, or sources" rule does carve out an exception for such sources:
Silly me! I thought the owner of DU was telling his simps not to bring unserious, unvetted, non-credible claims to DU, for example: "Iran is beating the US," or "Hundreds of US soldiers have been killed," or other bullshit circling the Internet.
And silly me, I thought, oh, that's refreshing. They're stupid asshole conspiracy Capricorn One / Parallax View / Manchurian Candidate freaks already, so why not force them to bring actual facts over? But clearly the faggot's main concern is that no one say anything that might offend a butt bandit. And heaven forbid any DUmmy have their 33rd COVID booster criticized.
Silly me.

* My favorite absurd AI purported to be the one purporting to be of the torpedoing of the IranianfrigateFishing boat, showing the torpedo hitting the ship several feet above the waterline. First, that's not how torpedoes work. Second, the Mark 48 torpedo is designed to explode under the target ship, breaking the target's keel. This can be seen in the publicly released periscope video in which the stern of the frigate is blown out of the water and the ship is broken into two or three large sections.
FIFY.

That's because the current crop of mouth-breathing Hollyweird writers can't get past the insurmountable hurdle of J. Michael Straczynski's production standards. They've got no chance of "making [Capt. John Sheridan] a chick and gay" while he's zealously guarding the IP.
