3:40 AM - Iran's Submarines Launched Torpedoes at USS Abraham Lincoln — The U.S. Never Even Blinked

Описание: 3:40 AM - Iran's Kilo Submarines Launched Torpedoes at USS Abraham Lincoln — The U.S. Never Even Blinked

At 3:47 a.m. on January 14, 2026, three Iranian Kilo-class submarines
slipped out of Bandar Abbas Naval Base in complete radio silence —
hunting USS Abraham Lincoln, a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft
carrier transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

What happened next was not a battle. It was a masterclass.

The U.S. Navy had detected the operation 72 hours before the first
torpedo was ever fired. A P-8A Poseidon locked all three submarines
within minutes. A Virginia-class attack sub shadowed the lead Iranian
boat for over 40 minutes — undetected, weapons armed, waiting for
the order that never came.

Iran fired 4 torpedoes. All 4 were intercepted mid-water by Mark 54
torpedoes in a live torpedo-vs-torpedo engagement. Zero hits.
Zero American casualties.

Then came one single active sonar ping from the Virginia-class
at close range — and both Iranian submarines surfaced within minutes.

Abraham Lincoln never changed course. Not one degree.

This is the full breakdown of one of the most one-sided naval
engagements in modern history — the sensors, the tactics,
the weapons, and the doctrine that made it possible.
