^AYE! thanks for that! My baby brother was a helmsman aboard her just prior to her decommissioning. '77-'79.

3/7/1988: NO wonder Iran says "Death to America"
Ticonderoga-class cruiser USS Vincennes CG-49 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...o_Oct_1988.jpg +https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...MR_in_1987.jpg + https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...-Scott2335.jpg =$61.8 million, amounting to $213,103.45 per passenger, in compensation to the families of the Iranian victims. Iran Air continues to use flight number 655 on the Tehran to Dubai route as a memorial to the 290 victims. This event ranks eighth among the deadliest disasters in aviation history; the incident retains the highest death toll of any aviation incident in the Persian Gulf. Hormuz Strait is still a 'hair-trigger' powder keg today! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655
