VFA-41 was tasked with patrolling an area of the Persian Gulf where several civilian ships and oil platforms had been being attacked.

Dealer flights 1 and 2 launched and headed to the patrol area. While enroute, AWACS identified a large group of helicopters heading toward oil platforms in the Al Shaheen oil fields. Dealer 1 was tasked with intercepting the helos while Dealer 2 remained at altitude to engage any additional threats. Dealer 1 reached the area and the helos had already begun attacking two oil platforms. Dealer 1 aircraft shot down all hostile helicopters.

Both Dealer flights then received an RTB order and all aircraft returned and trapped aboard CVN-72.

Dealer 1:
Trim - 3x Mi-8; trapped
Mr Bean - 3x Mi-8; trapped
Raid - 5x Mi-8; trapped

Dealer 2:
Hedgehog - trapped
Lion - trapped
