History of the USS Vincennes
The Vincennes was deployed in August 1986 to the Western Pacific
and Indian Oceans, a first for a Tico cruiser. The ship served as
anti-air warfare commander with the Carl Vinson and New Jersey battle
groups, operated with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and
the Royal Australian Navy, and steamed more than 46,000 miles (74,000
km) in waters from the Bering Sea to the Indian Ocean.
On 14 April 1988, the guided missile frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts
(FFG-58) hit a mine in the Persian Gulf during Operation Earnest
Will. Six days later, Vincennes was yanked from Fleet Exercise 88-1,
sent back to San Diego, California and told to prepare for a six-month
deployment. The reason for the haste: Navy leaders decided that
they needed an Aegis ship to protect the exit of the damaged Roberts
through the Strait of Hormuz. One month later, the cruiser entered
the Gulf, and in early July, stood guard in the Strait as the damaged
frigate was borne out on the Mighty Servant 2 heavy-lift ship. The
ship made 14 Hormuz transits during its Earnest Will operations.
Vincennes returns to San Diego in October, 1988.On 3 July 1988,
Vincennes, under the command of Captain William C. Rogers III, shot
down an Iran Air Airbus A300B2 over the Strait of Hormuz, killing
all 290 aboard.
