At 1411 hours in the Strait of Hormuz, two IRGCN Mi-171 helicopters inserted 12 boarding operators onto the chemical tanker MV Nordic Fortune while three Peykaap fast patrol craft held escort. The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye had been tracking the IRGCN force from Qeshm Island for 19 minutes before the boarding — giving the Maritime Raid Force aboard USS Bataan (LHD-5) a pre-alert window. Three MH-60S Knighthawk helicopters launched 4 minutes 32 seconds after the GMDSS distress beacon activated. The vessel was secured 48 minutes and 29 seconds after the GMDSS alert. All 23 crew unharmed. All 20 IRGCN personnel in custody.

The MH-60S fire support aircraft responded to IRGCN warning fire with an M134 minigun burst 150 meters off the patrol craft's bow — the Peykaap never fired again. Assault Element One fast-roped onto the stern deck in 30 seconds, securing both Mi-171 helicopters. Assault Element Two took the main deck simultaneously. The IRGCN boarding party commander called Bandar Abbas. Bandar Abbas said stand down. The RC-135W collected both transmissions in full.

The IRGCN spent 6 years seizing tankers before the response could arrive. This time the E-2D saw them leave Qeshm, the MH-60S launched in under 5 minutes, and the Raid Force was on deck before the boarding party had been aboard for 40 minutes.
