- , ,,- ,l....,,,.,.,............. -..-....-... ..-.- ...--.-..-....-. ... 1 We deployed to the Persian Gulf on short no- tice to fill a mission that was not as yet defined. We sailed with Commander Destroyer Squadron Four- teen embarked and began our training. In the Per- sian Gulf we were assigned to escort duty for the first nine missions. This meant KIDD personnel would be responsible for the development and im- plementation of the tactics and techniques to be used by escort forces for the remainder of our stay and until the escort missions end. As the escort missions became more routine, and a direct attack by outside forces appeared to be unlikely, our as- signment changed to long periods of assignment to patrol stations in the vicinity of the Iranian con- trolled Abu Musa Island. In this assignment KIDD maintained a watch on all air activity in the South- ern Persian Gulf including hundreds of commercial aircraft, Iranian patrol and fighter aircraft and Ira- qi attack bombers. In addition we trailed several Iranian frigates as the harassed foreign tankers in the shipping channels. We were called away from our patrol station twice to participate in major op- erations. First came the scuttling of the IRAN AJR, an Iranian Landing Craft captured while lay- ing mines in the Central Persian Gulf. The Second came when we retaliated for a Silkworm Missile hit on the SEA ISLE CITY while she was refuelling in Kuwait. We shelled the Rashadat 2 command and control platform in the Rostam Oil field. With this as a parting shot we left the gulf and stopped for nine days of well-deserved port visits in the Mediterranean and finally home again, but not un- til we had successfully completed an outchop Oper- ational Propulsion Plant Examination just for good measure. -.,....... -.. .... ..-..,...- . .-......-.......1............--,..- -......-.-,...-,. -- . .-..-..--.-W Y- V
