This episode tells the story of the the post-Vietnam Navy, an era where we were outgunned and outnumbered by the newly resurgent Soviet Navy. During the Soviet naval building boom between 1966 and 1970, when the US was unable to match it due to the resource drain of the Vietnam War, the Soviets commissioned 209 ships to the US Navy's 88. The WWII era of ships which had sustained the US fleet since the end of the last world war were at the end of their useful life and were not being replaced. By contrast, the entire Soviet fleet was practically new, built for modern weapon systems and with none of the resource-draining end-of-life maintenance issues that plagued the US Navy. By 1978 the Soviet fleet boasted 740 major warships to the US Navy's 289. It was a multi-decade effort culminating the The Maritime Strategy to regain parity with the Soviet fleet. It was amid this backdrop the late Cold War at sea took place, where the US Navy fought to control the Persian Gulf and its vital oil supplies, and at the same time manage the societal changes which wracked the nation and were reflected in the Navy. The Chief of Naval Operation from 1970-1974, Admiral Zumwalt, issued a series of 121 Z-Grams directly to the fleet which tackled quality of life and racial and gender equality problems plaguing the fleet. Finally, this episode tells the story of Operation Praying Mantis, the largest sea battle since WWII, where the US Navy retialiated against the Iranians for the mining of the USS Samuel B. Roberts.

In a keep-it-short sort of episode, the Salt Force crew discusses Iran and their recent bad behavior. We talk a wee bit about Operation Praying Mantis and also kombucha.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Islamo-nazis that have taken American's hostage for hundreds of days, a regime that slaughtered U.S Marines as they slept in their barracks, has shot a U.S aircraft out of the sky. We cannot let Iran, a terrorist regime, act this way without any repercussions. If we do nothing, Iran will test us even further; enemies like China and Russia are watching and they will test us as well. Disgusting comments have been made by former Vice President Biden, Pat Buchannan, and others in order to politicize this attack. Others are saying that this is a false flag set-up by John Kerry and the Democrats which is completely nonsensical and reduces the quality of any intelligent debate. In the past, aggression like this from Iran was met with force by the U.S, in the form of Operation Praying Mantis where the U.S used military action to destroy Iranian oil ships in response to their aggression. Then, Senator Tom Cotton calls in to discuss Iran shooting down an unmanned American aircraft. Cotton says if we don't respond Iran will think they can get away with shooting down a manned aircraft. We must learn from our history so that we don't repeat the errors of our past. Later, President Trump says that no one in his Administration is pressuring him to go to war with Iran.

  I andra delen trappas fientligheterna upp mellan USA och Iran i Persiska viken. Iran skickar ut större örlogsfartyg för att slå tillbaka den amerikanska flottstyrkan och nu börjar avfyrningar av sjömålsrobotar åt bägge håll plus att A6 Intruders och F4 Phantom genomför stridsuppdrag mot de iranska fartygen.

Detta var USA:s största sjöstrid efter andra världskriget. Under 1988 trappas spänningen upp mellan Iran och USA. Efter enstaka fientligheter mellan länderna genomför USA operationen Praying Mantis (Bönsyrsa) den 18 april 1988.
