The two ships attacked were The Wrangell and the Monomoy which are 110-foot Coast Guard cutters with shallow drafts, able to operate in the waters of the Persian Gulf.
They are both Island class patrol boats.

I was hoping this would be a thread about Bruce Springsteen dying.
Don't be mean and unfair. While sharing the senility spectrum with Biden, at least Springsteen got there by way of drugs and alcohol, unlike Biden who was born clueless and stupid. And senile.

As to why thery are there.. They were in Nam too... they do great work in the shallow water and if need be call in the big navy...
Like when the Iranians took our actual Navy patrol boat? Remember when we called in the big navy? Me either. They are just virtue signaling surrender vessels.
Well they should call in the big boats... if not, then wtf are those guys there for?

So they can clog up the shipping lanes with untrained sailors and get rammed by even bigger boats.
They guys job is actually to keep the shipping lanes of the world clear
Doesn't seem to be. Haven't done sh*t about the Iranians attacking oil vessels. Should give the Iranians a stand-off distance and if violated won't take to many sunk vessels before we get the distance.
