Re: Tyrion's Third - Tywin and the Greyjoys.

Midnight, I think you underestimate the Ironmen and their fleet under the command of Euron and Victarion. In fact, they do have ships large enough to sail the open seas and circumnavigate the world as Euron has done. He could not have been gone for so long sailing around the world and even going to old Valyria with only luck on his side. True Lannisport and Casterly Rock are very well defended and I do contend that the Ironmen could actually take them. I think the description should be more that the Ironmen are the best sailors in Westeros and not necessarily the world. You don't live an island and simply become "a pirate in a bathtub". Reread, what I think is the second last Victarion POV in AFFC and you will see that part of the Tyrell the Ironmen crush are not fat, aging, narcoleptic or drunk.
