Seems the Iranians are building themselves a large-scale model of an American aircraft carrier. Analysts assume it is meant to be towed out into the Persian Gulf, then blown up for propaganda purposes.

Iranian Ship, in Plain View but Shrouded in Mystery, Looks Very Familiar to U.S.

Seems an odd thing to do, but hey, this is a theocracy, so “odd” is pretty much to be expected.

 

UPDATE: More photos of it over here:

Why is Iran building a mock US aircraft carrier?

It looks real enough. But it looks… real crappy.
