The Swarm Tactic How Small Iranian Boats Could Sink a US Aircraft Carrier

Often dismissed as outdated or symbolic, Iran’s swarm tactic could pose one of the most dangerous asymmetric threats to a U.S. aircraft carrier in confined waters like the Persian Gulf. Instead of relying on a single powerful strike, this doctrine centers on dozens — even hundreds — of small, fast attack boats overwhelming advanced naval defenses through speed, numbers, and coordination. Armed with anti-ship missiles, rockets, naval mines, and suicide drones, these fast boats are designed to exploit a carrier’s greatest weakness: defensive saturation. Even the most advanced radar and interceptor systems can be strained when threats arrive simultaneously from multiple directions at close range. Military analysts warn that in narrow chokepoints, reaction time shrinks dramatically, increasing the risk of a catastrophic breach. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy has spent years refining this approach through drills, simulations, and real-world encounters with U.S. forces. The strategy is not about sinking a carrier outright with one hit — but about crippling escorts, disabling defenses, and forcing chaos, creating a window for decisive strikes. In this video, we break down how the swarm tactic works, why it worries Western naval planners, and whether a modern U.S. carrier strike group could truly withstand a massed asymmetric assault — or if this unconventional strategy could change naval warfare forever.
