Iranian Submarine Warfare Is Not the Dumbest Thing in the Caspian Sea

Iran is building its newest submarine in the Caspian Sea (several hundred miles from the nearest ocean) to face off against the navies of three landlocked countries, among other things.

Iran is building the second of its new Fateh-class submarines at the base at Bandar Anzali on Iran's north shore.

At 500 tons or so, it's not a big submarine by global standards, but will give Iran a big edge in the simmering Caspian arms race.

I'm thinking if the Iranians designed, built and man it I would turn down an offer for a ride.
Also in the news, in Kef I once stumbled across a Norwegian Koebben (sp?) heading up the coast. Good ol Ernie at COSL flipped out over that; his buddies got caught. I wonder if those things still exist? (The Koebben, not the Norwegians.) :)
