Rather than solely ‘turn off’, it seems the prudent action would be to spoof fake signals so that the enemy targeting would be hard pressed to select an actual ship.

Gee, let me think. I see a target that has no AIS ... should I hit it or just ignore it???

Maybe the Russians could quit selling missiles to Iran who in turn hands them over to a bunch of 75 IQ islamist savages.

Just a thought.

Has it ever occurred to anybody to shoot/bomb back?

[silent majority rising]

How about every time they are attacked, sink an Iranian ship? That would work.

I’m reminded of Oscar Schindler. His factories built things for safety and security that never worked or were allowed to.

Are there any US flagged commercial vessels except those which have to for transport between US ports because of the Jones Act? If you want the be a Panama flagged ship to avoid US taxes and regulations, then have the Panamanian navy protect you.

The whole scenario screams for 3 or 4 ‘bait ships’ that are loaded with extreme counter-measures. Make it so the Houthi’s don’t know which ship will find them and kill them within 2 minutes of their launch and you’ll winnow out the martyrs within weeks — a proven successful anti-slime strategy.
