Apparently a new attack not the British ship in Red Sea.

One thing I have realized from this is that shipping companies are pulling some kind of BS.
Pretend to be from country A, really owned by country B, and use low IQ browns from country C for sailors.

Was that US unmanned sub captured around there too?

Just another Biden foreign policy success story.

Gee...I wonder how long before Lloyd’s stops insuring ships going through the Suez? I wonder what Egypt is going to think when they stop getting that revenue.

I wonder what China is going to do when they stop getting their stuff from Europe?

All because some Yemidiots have some missiles.

When the grown ups get angry enough, this crap will stop.

I've actually been to Yemen several times during the late unpleasantness in the Persian Gulf (Earnest Will - 1987). I was on a small boy and we would escort the replenishment ships to Socotra Island where supplies and mail were delivered.

They need some kind of waterfront infrastructure to do their thing. We are launching multi-million dollar missiles that do little effective damage.

If you want to seriously punish them, sail a DDG along the coast in close international waters. Put the Slick 32 in auto and the minute something comes out unleash hell with the 5 inch gun. It's been decades since anyone has seen what some serious Naval gunfire can do. I assure you it's devastating.

“ A maritime security firm identified it as a Palau-flagged cargo ship.”

Let the vaunted Palau Navy handle it.
