"US Navy's Red Sea Confrontations: Battling Houthi Attacks and Underwater Threats"

The U.S. Navy has engaged in its first major battle at sea of the 21st century, countering Houthi attacks in the Red Sea. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have targeted commercial ships, leading to disruptions in global trade. The Navy has deployed over 7,000 sailors and shot down numerous drones and missiles. The Houthis' use of advanced weapons, including anti-ship ballistic missiles, poses a significant threat. The U.S. has conducted airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen and aims to restore the free flow of commerce in the southern Red Sea.
