The Straights of Hormuz has terrible sonar dynamics. If I remember right, there is a small area of deep water. This is where you would launch your UUV and make the depth 100 feet.

I just did a quick test on this mission and when you raise all of your mast, the radio mast states that Iranian mine layers have returned to port empty. Also, I launched the UUV and detected nothing at first until it went a little farther to find a group of mines. No counter-detection message or anything which supports my theory of the straights being bad sonar dynamics.
