The Black Aces were tasked with a night time mission to target and destroy any Iranian warships in the port of Bostanu. The squadron was divided into two strike flights to cover primary and secondary targets. Primary strike package targeted any moored warships in Bostanu, the secondary strike package targeted the oil/fuel storage tanks at the port.
Due the proximity of the targeted port to the airfield of Bandar Abbas JSOW 154C’s were selected as standoff weapons to keep target time to a minimum and to avoid the possibility of enemy fighters launching and targeting the strike packages.
All mission objectives were met. Primary and secondary targets were pounded heavily by the Dealer flights 1 and 2.

1 - Hedgehog: Ships hit, trapped.
2 - Raid: Ships hit, trapped.
