I bet you could do it with a big enough expense account with Planet Labs and the compute power to process the images these days. Track it forwards from the last public port of call or *INT leak like this strava data. 3.7m accuracy seems like enough to do it. It's not enough to target it directly but it would be enough to get more capable assets into the right area a la the interception of Japan's ships when they attacked Midway.

- signatoremo 7mo agoIt was sunk there because it attended an on-off event in India before that. Iran's ships don't get on regular trips far from home.
- rtkwe 7mo agoThey don't but it shows they could.
