Given my earlier comment about Iran, this bit of military history is particularly relevant.
In April 1988, the Trenton participated in
Operation Praying Mantis
"Operation Praying Mantis was the April 18, 1988 action waged by U.S. naval forces in retaliation for the Iranian mining of the Persian Gulf and the subsequent damage to an American warship.
[...] The battle, the largest for American surface forces since World War II,[1] sank two Iranian warships and as many as six armed speedboats. It also marked the first surface-to-surface missile engagement in U.S. Navy history."
That’s an old photo. She still has 3”/50 mounts.
