Back then it did not take much to nearly annhilate Iran's Navy with
the 'small' USN force that was deployed. Has there been big purchases
for naval vessels after that?

Regardless, I don't think there Navy won't pose much threat. Where
their vast experiece lies is on the ground and perhaps air war due to
the encounters with Iraq
