[QUOTE="Mikem, post: 189184, member: 29"] The last time the U.S. and Iran had a shooting war against each other over the Strait of Hormuz was in April 1988. The carrier task force involved was the USS Enterprise. The operation was called Praying Mantis. It started over a Iranian mine hitting the USS Roberts a missile frigate. Before it was over the Iranians lost one frigate sunk, one gunboat sunk, three or four speedboats sunk, one frigate damaged along with a couple of oil platforms severly damaged. The U.S. lost a Cobre Helicopter with two Marines killed. My son is on the USS Enterprise 24 years later and tensions are even higher now then back then. The ship is going on its 23rd and last deployment since being commisioned. It's going to the Persian Gulf. I hope and pray that both sides have cooler heads before it gets there about the same time in 2012 as it did in 1988. [/QUOTE]
