In 1991, during the Gulf War, the U.S. warships that were damaged by Iraqi mines were the USS Tripoli (LPH-10) and the USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG-58). The USS Tripoli sustained damage when it struck a mine while operating in the Persian Gulf, while the USS Samuel B. Roberts was also severely damaged by a mine explosion, which resulted in significant casualties and prompted changes in mine countermeasures for the U.S. Navy.
