Israel is planning to permanently station a submarine carrying nuclear cruise missiles in the Persian Gulf, the Sunday Times reported on Sunday.
Israeli submarines have visited the Gulf before, but the decision has now been taken to ensure a permanent presence of at least one of the vessels.

The paper claims that the government has decided to station at least one of three submarines armed with nuclear missiles permanently within striking distance of Iran in the Persian Gulf.

According to the article the submarines are moving to the Persian Gulf in respone to the growing missile threat to Israel from Syria, Iran and Hizbullah.

Israeli submarines are known to periocially visit the area but this is the first report that they may be permanently stationed there.

The diesel powered submarines are Dolphin class and were built in Germany to Israeli specifications.

  1. hopefully this Israeli sub doesn't decide to sink an American vessel like they did when they killed scores of Naval personnel on the USS Liberty.

  2. Things happen in a war zone. 1967. Let's see, you are a small nation being attacked by multiple nations, who's populations out number yours by 30 to 1, an intel ship is spotted, and you as a pilot have orders vital to the survival of your nation, to stop any, I repeat any, radio messages "friendly or unfriendly" that could tip the enemy of your approach.

    Our ship was caught in a war zone, at the wrong time and the wrong place.

    Go cry on your arabs fiends shoulders.
