Now, Something Worse in the Gulf Than War : What if You Do Everything Right and End Up Killing 300 Civilians?
July 05, 1988 TOM CLANCY Tom Clancy is the author of "Red Storm Rising" and the coming "Cardinal of the Kremlin."
Put yourself in the captain's place. U.S. ships have been attacked by aircraft in the gulf, at the cost of American lives. You have one battle under way, and now there is a new potential threat. It's heading toward you at 450 knots. Not so long ago, another U.S. Navy cruiser shot it out with air and surface units at the same time.

40 – The Killing Ground
USS NASSAU
Edwards was still in the twilight of anesthesia when he heard the electronic gonging of the General Quarters alarm. He was only vaguely aware of where he was. He seemed to remember the helicopter ride, but his next impression was that of lying in a bunk with needles and tubes stuck in various parts of his body. He knew what the alarm meant, and knew intellectually that he should be afraid. But he couldn't quite work his emotions up through the drug-induced haze. He succeeded in raising his head. Vigdis was sitting on a chair next to his bed, holding his right hand. He squeezed back, not knowing that she was asleep. A moment later he was, too.
Five levels up, Nassau's captain was standing on the bridge wing. His normal battle station was in CIC, but the ship was not moving, and he figured that this was as good a place as any to watch. Over a hundred missiles were inbound from the northeast. As soon as raid warning had been received an hour earlier, all of his boat crews had set to lighting off the smoke pots set on the rocks in this so-called anchorage. That was his best defense, he knew, hardly believing it himself. The point-defense guns at the comers of the flight deck were in automatic mode. Called R2D2s for their shape, the Close-In-Weapons-System Gatling guns were elevated twenty degrees, pointing off to the threat axis. That was all he could do. It had been decided by the air-defense experts that even firing off their chaff rockets would do more harm than good. The captain shrugged. One way or another, he'd know in five minutes.

40 – The Killing Ground
Again the Vampire call came in, and again Toland cringed. Twenty incoming missiles were plotted. The formation activated jammers and SAM systems, with a pair of Aegis cruisers on the threat axis. In seconds they were launching missiles, and the other SM2-equipped SAM ships added their own missiles to the "basket," allowing their birds to be guided by the Aegis computer systems. The twenty incoming missiles had ninety SM2s targeted on them. Only three got through the SAM cloud, and only one of them headed for a carrier. America's three point-defense guns tracked the AS-6 and destroyed it a thousand feet from the ship. The other two missiles both found the cruiser Wainwright and exploded her four miles from Independence.
"Damn." Jacobsen's face took a hard set. "I thought we had that one beat.

Unshakeable ties on the USS Wainwright
AJ MORRIS, The Jackson Sun 11:16 p.m. CDT May 18, 2015
On April 18, 1988, Petty Officer Second Class Robert Bennett was deep in the engine room of the USS Wainwright when an emergency message came through the radio.
Operating in the Persian Gulf, the Wainwright was part of a surface action group supporting Operation Praying Mantis — an offensive to neutralize Iranian naval assets in retaliation for their mining of international waters that had damaged the USS Samuel B. Roberts.
Operating a switchboard, Bennett shared a communication line with fire control, who had just informed him an anti-ship missile was headed straight at the Wainwright.
"We didn't have any idea what was going on, but we shared a radio circuit with gun plot, and I heard gun plot say 'Missile inbound, brace for shock,'" Bennett said. "So I grabbed hold of the switchboard and yelled out to everyone in the engine room, 'Missile inbound, brace for shock!' And we just held on and waited."
The ship's countermeasures activated, sending clouds of super-heated aluminum shards around the outside of the vessel to confuse the incoming missile. As a result, the missile missed the Wainwright.
"We heard the chaff going off and we just stood there and waited — and I really thought I was going to die," Bennett said.
"Nobody ever told us the missile missed, but all of a sudden we heard this tremendous woosh sound and we knew that we had fired a missile, and the whole ship erupted in cheers — it was really something."
The Wainwright destroyed three Iranian ships and two aircraft while assisting in the neutralization of Iranian intelligence and facilities in the largest naval surface battle since the end of World War II.
For Bennett, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
"It's something that just doesn't happen," Bennett said. "And it was amazing to see how everyone came together perfectly and did their job exactly how they had been trained to do."
The Wainwright's participation in Operation Praying Mantis was just one story in a long legacy of service with the United States Navy.
Three ships in total have sailed under the name USS Wainwright, participating in battle since World War I. The first Wainwright was a Tucker-Class destroyer who sailed from 1914 until 1934. The second Wainwright was a Sim-Class destroyer who sailed from 1938 until 1948, and saw action in several World War II theaters before taking part in the infamous Bikini Atoll atomic tests.
It is a name that conjures up powerful memories for those who served on her, forming a brotherhood that remains strong despite time and distance.
"We're all brothers. Everyone who ever served on this ship just has a brotherhood," Bennett said. "Not that we didn't have our squabbles, but there's a brotherhood."
It is this strong bond that led the creation of the USS Wainwright Veterans Association. Celebrating its 30th year, the association stopped by VFW Post 6496 in Jackson with its traveling museum exhibit trailer.
