Iran Air Flight 655

A very interesting incident after an accident (do we know what really happened, though?) in the Persian Gulf. After this aircraft went down, a number of actions occurred between Iran and US Navy vessels in the Gulf.

This is basically the only 'fight' that US forces have had before the War on Terror and after Libya. Iraq was in the Gulf, but it did not involve offensive Naval or Air Forces in significant quantities to concern them.
