Fourteen Iranian Revolutionary Guard fast attack boats departed Bandar Abbas in a straight line at 47 knots and charged directly into three Arleigh Burke-class destroyers screening the USS Harry S. Truman carrier strike group. No deception. No flanking. No tactical sophistication. A frontal assault into the most heavily defended escort formation in the Gulf.
The destroyers’ Aegis fire control systems engaged at 7.5 nautical miles — destroying six boats with five-inch guns before any IRGCN vessel reached machine gun range. F/A-18 Super Hornets strafed from above. Seahawk helicopters fired Hellfires from behind. Twelve boats destroyed in 12 minutes. Zero American casualties.
But the real story wasn’t the engagement — it was why Iran sacrificed an entire squadron in a charge they knew would fail. Three competing theories emerged: a botched recall, a deliberate martyrdom operation, or a distraction covering something the Navy still hasn’t identified.
