商船队在旷日持久的两伊战争中常遭袭击。它们被委婉地称作“大型海上目标”。至今,遇难的船只已逾百艘。在饥不择食的救捞公司眼里,这些遭到袭击的船只成了丰盛美餐。它们甘冒风险在被随意划定的战区进行救助。这些船只多为导弹击伤。据报道,至少有60艘是为 Exocet 导弹所击中,这种导弹造成破坏的其他例子可能更多。 The merchant fleet was often attacked in the protracted Iran-Iraq war. They are euphemistically referred to as “large maritime targets.” So far, more than 100 vessels have been killed. In the eyes of the hungry salvage companies, these attacked ships became a sumptuous meal. They are willing to take risks to be rescued in a freely definable theater. These ships are mostly missile wounded. It is reported that at least 60 ships were hit by Exocet missiles, and other examples of such missiles may cause damage.
