If you know the system, it will take you wherever you need to go.
All right, there's an intake pipe here, below low tide. Is that our best access?
Yes. That's exactly where I had come out.
Then beneath the cistern, there's a connection to the abandoned septic system.

The power of this chemical is way beyond anything you can imagine.
An ecological disaster, sir.
Plus the devices themselves are complicated.
That's why you're coming with us.
-I am? -You're the expert. What's your problem?
You mean I'm going, going out there, under the water?
Well, earlier today you wanted a gun.
Now you're getting a gun and a wet suit.
Have you ever been in a combat situation?
- Define "combat," sir.

Operation Praying Mantis

Operation Praying Mantis was an April 18, 1988 attack by U.S. naval forces in retaliation for the Iranian mining of the Persian Gulf and the subsequent damage to an American warship.

On April 14, the guided missile frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts struck a mine while deployed in the Persian Gulf as part of Operation Earnest Will, the 1987-88 convoy missions in which U.S. warships escorted reflagged Kuwaiti oil tankers to protect them from Iranian attacks. The explosion put a 25-foot hole in the Roberts' hull and nearly sank it. The crew saved their ship with no loss of life, and Roberts was towed to Dubai on April 16.

After the mining, U.S. Navy divers recovered other mines in the area. When the serial numbers were found to match those of mines seized along with the Iran Ajr the previous September, U.S. military officials planned a retaliatory operation against Iranian targets in the Persian Gulf.

The battle, the largest for American naval forces since World War II, sank two Iranian warships and three armed speedboats. It also marked the first anti-ship surface-to-surface missile engagement in U.S. Navy history.

The attack by the U.S. helped pressure Iran to agree to a ceasefire with Iraq later that summer, ending the eight-year conflict between the Persian Gulf neighbors.
