Jackson(Operation)

**__Operation Nimble Archer__** ===A Kuwaiti shipping tanker was struck by an Iranian silkworm missile while unloading ammunition and refueling. The missile struck the ship near the barracks and the wheelhouse. The United States is an ally with Kuwait, so they were bound to do something about it. U.S. warships radioed the crews on two Iranian Oil Rigs and warned them to evacuate. Then Special Forces(Navy Seals)climbed aboard the rigs, secured some intelligence,and planted explosives. When they were a safe distance from the rigs they detonated the explosives, and the shelling from the warships ensued. The rigs, being mainly steel, did not explode but eventually were set ablaze by the shelling. Below are images of the U.S.S. Hoel(the ship responsible for most of the shelling), the larger of the two oil rigs, and an Iranian silk-worm missile. ===
