In early June, an Army AH-64 went down over the Gulf of Oman &mdash; President Trump said Iran shot it down &mdash; and its crew was famously rescued by an unmanned surface vessel. In May, Navy MH-60S crews and Apaches sank six Iranian fast boats. And last October, an MH-60R was lost off USS Nimitz in the South China Sea.
