The Indian Navy saved the crew of a U.S. ship in the Gulf of Aden after an attack by the Houthi group from Yemen. The Red Sea escalation is caused by continued Houthi attacks on trade ships, provoking disruptions in sea routes and affecting global trade, Reuters and U.S. News report.
The attack on the Genco Picardy happened late on Wednesday, prompting the U.S. military to respond with strikes on 14 Houthi missiles. This incident is part of a series of attacks by the Houthis, which has been targeting ships in and around the Red Sea since November.

Just for perspective, the Indian Navy is much more powerful than the British Royal Navy.

Typical MSM bs: US ship Genco Picardy
In the oft quoted words of Fred Thompson in Hunt for Red October, “ this business will get out of control! It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it!”
There was a time the U.S. Navy saved crews from other countries. Now, they have to save us.
"You're referring to the Russians, sir?"
"No, Alec Baldwin is behind us with a gun!"
Iran is just going to continue to get stronger unless we stop them.
Any trannies on the U.S. ship chip a nail or mar their nail polish artwork?

As a blue-water navy, it operates significantly in the Persian Gulf Region, the Horn of Africa, the Strait of Malacca, and routinely conducts anti-piracy operations and partners with other navies in the region. It also conducts routine two to three month-long deployments in the South and East China seas as well as in the western Mediterranean sea simultaneously.
The Navy has two aircraft carriers in active service, INS Vikramaditya, which serves as the flagship of the fleet. Vikramaditya (formerly Admiral Gorshkov) is a modified Kiev-class aircraft carrier procured at a total cost $2.3 billion from Russia in December 2013. A second aircraft carrier, the indigenously built INS Vikrant was commissioned on September 2, 2022. The Navy has an amphibious transport dock of the Austin class, renamed as INS Jalashwa in Indian service. It also maintains a fleet of landing ship tanks.
The navy currently operates three Visakhapatnam, three Kolkata, three Delhi and three Rajput-class guided-missile destroyers. The ships of the Rajput class are being replaced by the next-generation Visakhapatnam-class destroyers (Project 15B) which feature a number of improvements.
In addition to destroyers, the navy operates several classes of frigates such as three Shivalik (Project 17 class) and six Talwar-class frigates. Seven additional modified Shivalik-class frigates (Project 17A class frigates) are on order, all of which are under various stages of construction. Smaller littoral zone combatants in service are in the form of corvettes, of which the Indian Navy operates the Kamorta, Kora, Khukri, Veer and Abhay-class corvettes. Replenishment tankers such as the Jyoti-class tanker, INS Aditya and the new Deepak-class fleet tanker help improve the navy’s endurance at sea.

Along with the Blowfish.
Baldwin is a jerk but his portrayal of Jack Ryan is the closest to Clancy’s Ryan.
