Yemeni Houthis have attacked the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea. The strike was carried out in response to US airstrikes on Yemen, reports Al Jazeera and Houthi Brigadier General Yahya Saree.
“The Houthi military spokesperson said that the group has responded to the US bombing of Yemen by attacking the USS Harry S Truman with ballistic missiles and a drone,” the report said.
Yahya Saree specified that the Houthis launched 18 missiles. He also claimed that the US had carried out more than 47 airstrikes on several Yemeni provinces, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries.
I’m reasonably sure that the level of leadership that’s running carriers is still mostly competent.
Of course, President Musk might decide to go down there and take personal charge of the carrier group. That might be fun.
No doubt, but for how long is the question. And “There are too many ships together, I want them separated them so that we can control more area. We need one near Crimea, I heard from a friend. Disable all the electric plane lifts as well, we’ll have only the best gas powered lifts from now on. Also, put a destroyer near my beautiful golf course in Scotland so they know I mean business.”
