The USS Stark Incident - When Iraq Attacked America

One time, an Iraqi Air Force Dassault Mirage F1 launched 2 Exocet missiles at a US Navy frigate, the USS Stark.


The USS Stark incident occurred during the Iran–Iraq War on 17 May 1987, when an Iraqi jet aircraft fired two missiles at the American frigate USS Stark, a frigate of the Oliver Hazard Perry class. A total of thirty-seven United States Navy personnel were killed or later died as a result of the attack, and twenty-one were injured. On 21 June 2011, an agreement was reached between the governments of the United States and Iraq regarding claims of United States citizens against the regime of Saddam Hussein. The Iraqi government established a fund of $400 million to compensate prisoners of war and hostages in the Persian Gulf War, and those killed or injured in the 1987 attack on USS Stark.
