Way full, and if Iran is attacked, their plates will run over. I can see scenes from the 1975 Vietnam exodus being replayed, albeit on a much larger scale, with missiles flying all around the ships in the Persian Gulf while the evacuation is underway.

Mul-berry thinks those ships are invulnerable to attack, he'd better guess again. The Iranians have had decades of unrestricted development in the field of defensive and short range cruise missiles. A salvo of several hundred cruise missiles would put a hurting on a lot of ships. My information is that the Iranians have thousands of them, in single use launchers. Simple fire and forget technology.
