Two US Navy Destroyers Come Under Attack While Escorting American Ships

Two U.S. Navy destroyers fought back this weekend against missile attacks aimed at American ships in the Red Sea.

“U.S. Navy destroyers USS Stockdale (DDG 106) and the USS O’Kane (DDG 77) successfully defeated a range of Houthi-launched weapons while transiting the Gulf of Aden, Nov. 30 — Dec. 1,” U.S. Central Command reported in a news release on its website.

“The destroyers were escorting three U.S. owned, operated, flagged merchant vessels, and the reckless attacks resulted in no injuries and no damage to any vessels, civilian or U.S. Naval,” the release said.

“The destroyers successfully engaged and defeated three anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs), three one-way attack uncrewed aerial systems (OWA UAS), and one anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM), ensuring the safety of the ships and their personnel, as well as civilian vessels and their crews.”

You have to be careful with the gateway pundit as a source. They love sensationalistic headlines. They are a bit like a super market tabloid.

I want to hear how we destroyed the enemies ability to attack our ships in the future. Seems like a loss for us if all we did was bat their incoming missiles away.
