    I was there.
    The tanker escort mission was called Operation Earnest Will. When we would enter or leave the gulf through the Straits of Hormuz, Iran would light us up with their Silkworm missile radars. And steaming around in mined waters is rather nerve-racking.
    I was on the USS Merrill (DD-976), SAG B, during this engagement. We gave them a 15-minute warning in English, then farsi (we had a CT onboard who spoke farsi), then in English, then in Farsi, then he finished it with, "Have a nice day." Of course we all cheered at that. Afterwards, we gave them a 10-minute warning, a 5-minute warning, then we told them, "We are opening fire, is everyone off the platform?" They said, "We are not leaving." So, we opened fire.
    We fired 2 rounds before they fired back with a 22mm chain gun. Our Fire Controlman took care of that with one shot, as Nic said. Yes, he was THAT good.
    We were supposed to fire 5 or 10 rounds, then the Lynde B. McCormick was supposed to do the same. We were supposed to trade off until finished. We wound up doing all the shooting on the Sassan oil platform because Lynde B. McCormick's gun had dropped sync and was "walking" and they couldn't fix it in time.
    After the engagement we had a joke: How does the Ayatollah inspect his fleet... Glass Bottomed boat.
    The Soviet Udaloy destroyer was gathering intel.
    A few minor details wrong, but it doesn't detract from the story and NO ONE gets ALL the details right.. I love Nic's presentation. I've seen most of his videos and they are awesome.

    USS Enterprise SHOULD "ring a bell" seeing how it is considered the "unofficial flag ship" of the ENTIRE US Navy, and has been around in one form or another from just after the American Revolution, and became the aircraft carrier during WW2 that won the most awards and is still to this day considered the "most decorated ship in the US Navy history". Taking part in multiple campaigns, multiple conflicts, and is possibly the ONLY "ship name" that will be carried over from one generation of naval ships to another first. Meaning that ANY new "ship" that will take over the aircraft carrier, will most likely be named "Enterprise" as part of Naval tradition. (Again, this isn't just a "new ship", but a NEW CLASS of ships that will replace the concept of "aircraft carriers" as we think of them today.

    Iran had been doing just that every chance that they got. Constant belligerent posturing and provocations - but never quite enough to provoke an official armed response.
    All of this happening with the background of the US and USSR navies pushing each other's limits during the "Cold War".
    So, the US Navy had been waiting for this for the best part of 10 years.

    The interesting thing is that the US took the wrong lesson from this into the 21st century, whereas Iran adapted. Unlike Japan or the Russians during the 20th century; Iran fully grasped now it cannot try to manipulate the rules of war nor compete with the US in open-sea battle. So they went faster smaller vessels that are harder for radars to track or deal with; and they went the Chinese route; land based re-entry weapons that are harder for CIWS to counteract. Thankfully, the US has not yet had cause to test itself against these new doctrines to see if they're effective.

      Someone seems to be ignoring that the US and a whole bunch of coalition forces that include France and the UK have been fighting these tactics since last fall, and having to fight them as a reactionary force rather than proactive.
      The Houthis in Yemen are Iranian backed and advised. So far with minimal assests deployed during a US election season the Houthis are unable to acomplish their stated mission.
      People seem to forget that when you engage the US Armed forces you are not just fighting a navy ship, a base, or a soldier. A reminder had to be sent of that earlier this year when again Iranian backed forces killed three of our servicemen in Jordan. The military didn't use a carrier group, or launch from an overseas base. It sent a B-1B from Texas around the world in under a day to rain down hell.

    This was not the first USS Enterprise, it is one of the oldest names in the US Navy and most reused, with the version from WW2 the most distinguished carrier the US has ever had. At the decommissioning of the nuclear carrier you mentioned it was announced that the next carrier laid down, CV-80, would be named USS Enterprise.

    If you can stand it, his video on the cheese bunkers (these are a real thing, and I did know about them decades ago from books; they're not a secret so much as something nobody happens to talk about) is good too and explains what I might assume is a mystery to non-U.S. citizens: why exactly there exists a weird chemical thing we call "American cheese product" and which those Americans who eat cheese have no problems counting as "cheese". It's the result of the government commissioning research on how to mess with the concept of cheese with the goal of extending its shelf life as much as possible without outright poisoning anybody, and the research not being any kind of secret so the companies that did it were free to find some use for their own work. They did.
