The Gulf, Nov. 16 th 19??. The Exxon owned tanker "Esso Freetown", pictured thirty miles (30) off Ras al-Khaimah
Monday after it had been attacked by Iranian gunboats. The 260,851 ton tanker was steaming towards the Straith of
Hormuz with minor damage after four or five rocket propelled grenates had been fired at it. Only one hit was vissible
in the hull, but the hit had not pierced the ship. The "Esso Freeport" was one of three merchant ships to be attacked
in two days in apparent retailiation for twelve Iraqi attacks on Iranian oil exports.
