The US Navy intercepted a barrage of Houthi missiles and drones launched at three of its warships in the Red Sea on Thursday, two US defense officials said.
The attack was one of the largest yet on US warships in the Middle East, one of the officials told CNN.
The barrage was launched at the USS Spruance and USS Stockdale — both guided missile destroyers — and the USS Indianapolis, a littoral combat ship, as they traveled north of the Bab el-Mandeb strait.

You have to make sense for me to know what you are talking about.
Are you trying to say something about post 7? What specifically do you think is incorrect in it?
There’s a small group of anti-patriots on this forum; they all display truly perverted minds.
Well, what about all of the attempted infiltration of our bases, not to mention the drive by shooting at one?
Just send him some Putin pics and he will be too exhausted to post for the rest of the day.
Iran-backed Houthis shoot at our ships
Democrats: We need to stop Israel from making them do this.
Number 3 on the dance ticket. Then Iran..
In the olden days, supplying weapons to a belligerent state was also called an ACT OF WAR.
APPARENTLY SO. BUNKER BUSTER BOMBS
Actually, we tell the Iranians if any ship from any nation gets damaged or sunk by Houthi missiles, they lose an oil platform or oil shipping site.
Should say U.S. Navy intercepts Iranian missles.
Iran also has boots on the ground in Yemen, and Yemeni sources have said the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in Yemen are actually firing some of the missles and operating some on the attack drones.
Houthi acts need to have a response.
A violent and damaging response.
Give them no quarter.
End their lives and disrespect for the USA!

If we were Israel, the Houthis would be picking up this guy's parts and readying him for burial.
Said another way: FJB’s ROE does not permit the USN to return fire in any way.
Yep. One operation Arclight over Sanaa should do the trick.

“..Houthi acts need to have a response....”
Agree.
At some point, they’re gonna get their hands on sophisticated hypersonics along with the training on how to use em.....just a matter of time.
They need to be stopped now.
We should have clobbered these idiots when they attacked international shipping.
We did it to Russia with Stinger's.
At the short ranges, using a hypersonic, the big ships would be sitting ducks.
