  • The Iran-Iraq War - Chapter XIV 05/01/90 Page XIV - 1
    The Iran-Iraq War - Chapter XIV 05/01/90 Page XIV - 1 XIV. THE TANKER WAR AND THE LESSONS OF NAVAL CONFLICT 14.0 The Tanker and Naval Wars The Iran-Iraq War involved two complex forms of naval conflict: Iraq's attempts to weaken Iran by destroying its ability to use tankers to export oil, and a U.S.-led Western naval presence in the Gulf that was intended to ensure the freedom of passage for tankers to Kuwait and the overall security of shipping to and from neutral Gulf countries. Both forms of conflict led to substantial escalation. Iran reacted to Iraq's tanker war by putting increasing military and political pressure on the Southern Gulf states to halt their support of Iraq. The U.S. and Western European presence in the Gulf led to growing clashes with Iran that escalated steadily to the point where they were a major factor in Iran's decision to agree to a ceasefire. The history of these two naval conflicts, and their overall impact on the war, has already been described in some detail. The naval fighting involved the use of a wide range of naval, air, missile, and mine warfare systems, however, and presents a number of interesting lessons regarding the use of these systems in naval warfare. It also provides important insights into the effect of strategic air attacks on naval shipping, and the problems of conflict management and controlling escalation. The key lessons and issues raised by the war may be summarized as follows: • The tanker war was the most important aspect of the fighting at sea, but it never produced a major interruption in Iran's oil exports.

On the nation’s economic front, these two decades couldn’t have been more different. Following a brief recession after World War I, the American economy expanded at an unprecedented rate and in 1929 gross national product reached one-third of the world total. Conversely, that October’s stock-market crash ushered in the Great Depression, a decade of hardship at home and around the world. The fortunes of the American shipbuilding industry were nearly the reverse. During the four years after the war ended, deliveries dropped to less than 5 percent of the World War I peak and stayed there until 1938. This near collapse brought plant closings, layoffs, and a corresponding loss of expertise that jeopardized the industry’s future ability to rebound – a circumstance decried in 1944 by no less than the US Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Ernest J.
