"Sea Drones and Missile Threats: The Evolving Challenges for the US Navy"
TL;DR Summary
Houthi rebels have targeted the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower with naval drones in the Red Sea, adding a new surface-level threat to the attacks from airborne drones and missiles. The use of sea drones, pioneered by Ukraine, has been encountered by US forces, with two drones being taken out as an imminent threat to shipping. The emergent technology presents a "scary scenario" for the US Navy, as it lacks intelligence on the extent of the Houthi drone arsenal, and the drones provide an "immense asymmetric advantage" for their users.
