After a cursory search on TV Tropes, I noticed how few mentions there are in general of the Iran Air 655-shoot down of 1988 (for a fairly infamous incident). Given the nature of the event (for obvious reasons, there isn't a TV Tropes page for Iran Air, or individual flag carriers in general), I thought it was worth mentioning on Yanks with Tanks. As there was no direct message of the Ticonderoga-class, and information on the Navy is spread throughout the page, I felt including a one-sentence measure under 'Advances in technology', specifically following the phrase

As there was no direct message of the Ticonderoga-class, and information on the Navy is spread throughout the page, I felt including a one-sentence measure under \'Advances in technology\', specifically following the phrase \"Even worse, modern weapons are so lethal...\" was an appropriate placement, adding to the section as a whole. Link included, as most readers (well, anyone outside Iran probably) would not necessarily be familiar with the incident.
Obviously I think the event is relevant and worth mentioning (I would want a line about KAL 007 in \'Reds with Rockets\', and it is included under Soviet Air Defense--and it\'s there, though the section remains woefully inadequate next to the length of the article on the Soviet Air Force). I chose my worded carefully, hopefully it does not come off as deliberately provocative or argumentative, my intention was not to start some sort of feud (the event is admittedly controversial, not only for the loss of life but also since no formal apology was issued and the roller-coaster state of Iranian-American relations too), so hopefully that\'s apparent. The verb \"air-defended\", while perhaps not the most forgiving to the Vincennes itself, does feel highly appropriate to the dry humor of the article and TV Tropes in general.
