Operation Praying Mantis was the April 18, 1988 action waged by U.S. naval forces in retaliation for the Iranian mining of an American warship by the Iran Ajr. The battle, the largest between surface forces since World War II, sank two Iranian warships and as many as six armed speedboats. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Praying_Mantis Oct 04 06, 8:06 PM
