Yes! Back when the Iranians were OK.
Those ugly Pink P-3s.
I helped their guys fix a radar set when we stayed overnight there. They were clueless.
Bandar was not much of a liberty port. Most of the crew was back on board a couple of hours after liberty call. They ran movies 24 hours a day on the mess decks while we were in port. Only crew that got lucky was a coupe of my BTs.
A taxi driver clued them in on a govt. run cat house about 10 miles out of town. Both came down with the clap for their efforts.

Been there, heard about you guys ... heard an interesting tale when there about IFF
Supposedly an Iranian P-3 training flight was cut short because of IFF
(In Flight Fight, Pilot vs Co-Pilot, Instructor/Observer had to bring it home)
