Iran conducted their largest ever (at that time) naval exercise when my carrier the USS Constellation and our battle group where transiting the Straits of Hormuz. You can see Saudi on one side and Iran on the other it is so narrow. Anyway the exercise was called "Road to Jerusalem." This would have been around 1995 I believe. We had 14's and 18's burning on the cats ready to go. They were trying to provoke us then. They flew right over our flight deck. One of my buddies snapped a picture showing how close they were. One of our old P3's we sold them many moons ago banked across our deck and you can make out the pilots facial detail in the photo as he is looking at the deck! The Iranians popped up a diesel sub next to our ship and made a few fake runs at us with small fast attack boats.

It's a powder keg over there now and if they try anything similar it's gonna blow this time for sure.
