(b) [ ] (IDS) reported seeing a Mode II-1100 and Mode III-6675 on his RCI about 3-4 minutes before engagement when TN 4131 was at 9000 ft and near the SE corner of Qeshm Island. He reported possible F-14 and Mode II-1100 over net 15/16 to "all stations." USS VINCENNES's system data showed only Mode III-6760 at this time.

(c) Not all RCI indications are displayed in an operator's CRO because RCI data is not always correlated with a track in the system. IFF data in C&D is always correlated with a track number.

(d) Multiple CIC personnel recalled hearing F-14 report on internal net 15 or 16, or recall it being said aloud.

(e) [ ] (CSC) never saw Mode II, but [ ] (AIC) saw Mode II-1100 and Mode III-6675 on his CRO. [ ] (AAWC) also saw Mode II-1100. USS VINCENNES's system still held no IFF Mode II and held Mode III-6760 for TN 4131.

(f) [ ] (TIC) reported rechallenging TN 4131 after Mode II report but only got a Mode III.

(j) [ ] ("GW") reported an inbound Iranian F-14 to "GB" [ ] (BRG 025/RNG 32 NM). He also reported that he had warned TN 4131 and that the challenge was ignored.

(k) [ ] ("GW") recalled making a report when TN 4131 was at 32 NM and recalled an earlier altitude of 9800 ft when TN 4131 was between 38-40 NM.

(l) USS VINCENNES ordered to take tactical control of USS SIDES by "GS".
