VFA-41 was tasked with destroying an Iranian frigate. They even gave us HARMs this time. The frigate was protected by its own radar-guided SAM system.
Waves of HARMs were launched. Some failed to track, but some made it through to cause substantial damage to the ship. Its SAM radar still active, strike package Hornets employed Maverick F missiles to sink the frigate. Dealer 2 flight provided top cover for Dealer 1, which was the strike package after all HARMs were depleted.
Dealer 1-1 - Hedgehog: tgt hit, trapped
Dealer 1-2 - Trim: tgt hit, trapped
Dealer 1-3 - Lion: tgt hit, trapped
Dealer 2-1 - Ticman: trapped
Dealer 2-2 - Ranger: tgt hit, trapped
MISSION SUCCESS! Frigate was sunk with HARMs and MavF missiles. All aircraft recovered safely aboard the carrier.
