Inside the US Navy's frontline fight against the Houthis in the Red Sea

The U.S. Navy is making a visible show of force in the Red Sea, aiming to protect international shipping from missiles and drones launched by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. CNN's Natasha Bertrand goes aboard one of the warships. #CNN #News

The diff attacking tactics are ukraine mostly nighttime attacks vs houthi mostly daytime attack.

[@rogerc6533]

You kidding me? Aircraft carriers failing to prevent catastrophic shipping disruptions against a bunch of drone armed tribesman is an extremely pathetic showing from America. You could argue that the Black Sea fleet was always a weak bottled up fleet easily exposed to land attacks but for blue water carrier battle groups meant to face off directly against China to fail against insurgents, there is no excuse at all. Navies are always essential for power projection but in many ways, they are obsolete right now.
