Hi.

Did the Houthi actually damage the carrier?

5.56mm

Unknown?

I guess we have to decide for ourselves. Several news agencies reported it was attacked, but now the Biden regime’s “fact checkers” on internet are saying the reports are false:

NPR OP?

Nit that I’m aware of. They have been on station for a long time. Everyone needs a break.

No. There is no evidence whatsoever that any Houthi weapons even got close. The ship has way over-extended its deployment and needs some serious maintenance time @ home port.

Now, that all said, the Roosevelt is in Korea and obviously could not get to the ME immediately if a crisis occurs. This gives Iran / Hezbollah a window...

USS Wasp is IIRC in the Med and has F-35’s, but, obviously is not as capable.

I heard she was damaged, sailors injured. I hope I am wrong.

The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower leaves the Red Sea as Houthi attacks continue.
