MV Bridgeton, ex-al-Rekkah, was a Kuwait Oil Company oil tanker that was reflagged during Operation Earnest Will. Bridgeton was built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Nagasaki and was launched August 14, 1976. The tanker was built as al-Rekkah, renamed Bridgeton and scrapped as Pacific Blue. Bridgeton struck an Iranian mine near Farsi Island during the first Operation Earnest Will escort mission on July 24, 1987. Operation Prime Chance was conducted as a response to this mining. In September 1987, Iran Ajr was discovered laying mines, was captured and scuttled by US forces.
