"The Iranian mock-up of a US aircraft carrier is for the production of a movie about the 1988 downing of an Iranian airliner by the US Navy, according to Iranian media.

the mock-up is being built for a film titled “Airbus,” about the July 3, 1988, downing of civilian passenger plane Iran Air Flight 655 by the USS Vincennes. The plane, which according to the American crew was mistaken for a F-14 Tomcat fighter, was shot down in Iranian airspace over the Persian Gulf and killed all 290 people on board."

Iran admiral: US ships are a target in case of war

Iran is building a simple replica of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz in a shipyard in the southern port of Bandar Abbas in order to be used in future military exercises, an Iranian newspaper confirmed last month.

If thats true, any attempt to Kamakazi or even get within visual range will be fun target practice for the fleet. Complete folly. But, whats new.

Kind of an expensive prop for a movie or propaganda. CGI would be much cheaper.
