Training tool? Maybe. Just a couple issues the Iranians may want to keep in mind...
To sink it? A rusting barge made up to vaguely look like a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is IMO analogous to using those paper silhouettes you see at the target ranges. Good for practicing basic gunnery skills, maybe, but the targets don't typically move or shoot back. IN this case, said target won't have it's typical CAP out and about, frigate screens, anti-missile/anti-aircraft systems, submarine and destroyer escorts, short-range gun batteries, etc...
To take one over? See above, plus whatever security detail that's aboard the ship.
Should be amusing to see what comes out of this.
