I honestly laughed when I read this. I'm pretty sure the Coast Guard could deal with the Iranian Navy all by itself. A Coast Guard Cutter is more high tech than the average destroyer.
Especially when said destroyers are World-War-2 era destroyers.Don't doubt the capabilities of a WWII era warship.
2 of These are Allen M. Summer Class destroyers, successors to the Fletcher Class destroyers, who were nicknamed "Tin Cans" for their lack of armor.
They are outfitted with 5 inch guns, which would literally bounce off the armor plating of the average warship. They also carry more recent missile systems for anti-air.
The one british destroyer is effectively the same and just as useless.
HOWEVER, NONE OF THESE SHIPS HAVE BEEN ACTIVE FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS. LAWL.
