In 1979, USS Independence (CV-62) deployed to the Mediterranean as the Iranian Revolution upended regional stability and American hostages were seized in Tehran. With Cold War tensions at a peak and U.S. policy in crisis, Independence's battle group provided a critical show of force and deterrence in the Mediterranean theater during one of the most turbulent periods of the post-war era.
