The military investment and buildup comes following weeks of tense interactions between Iran and the United States in regional waters, where Iranian military ships have carried out a series of dangerous maneuvers near U.S. vessels.

Plus many of their men won't come to a good end and their own government will see to that.

Some Blue Water outreach by the Iranians. In Corvettes? Maybe a tanker "mothership" to umbilical the oversized PT's... speed boats, even. Right at the front end of Hurricane season. Silly Iranians.

There is the real possibility of rescue by the Bermuda Coast Guard.

Corvettes?

You may be right. They do look smaller than a frigate.

They will probably steer clear of any hurricanes unfortunately

Oh cool. I'll head out in my 16ft Grizzly and harass the heck out of them. I wonder if the Trump administration would issue a Letter of Marque.
