It is likely that Iran's very quiet Ghadir class midget subs, which are specifically designed to be deployed in the shallow Persian Gulf and narrow Strait, are all over the Gulf shipping lanes, on the bottom, rigged for ultra-quiet, waiting for the assault ships ferrying the Marines to enter the battlefield of the Persian Gulf. These boats are armed with torpedoes and/or they lay mines and create grave uncertainty.

The EU navies know this which is why they would rather have cankles call them cowards, then lose a Destroyer or Cruiser and a lot of lives to a cheap mini-sub torpedo.
