WATCH: Pentagon says Houthi attacks caused no damage to U.S. Navy warships. WASHINGTON (AP) — Yemen's Houthi rebels targeted two U.S. Navy warships with multiple drones and missiles as they were traveling through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, but the attacks were not successful, the Defense Department said Tuesday.7 days ago

Why are all 4 war ships heading back to port? Someone will eventually post video of the damage.
My nephew serves on the USS John McCain, they served 8 months in Gulf and returned because of “chain of command” problems.
Eventually the Houthis will sink a carrier. How will you explain that?

My bet is they just managed to fend off the missiles and drones and it leaked internally through the chain of command that the ships were materially deficient causing them to only succeed by luck rather than skill.
By materially deficient I mean that many of the shipboard systems were either not working or not fully capable of doing whatever they were supposed to do. This occurred through a combination of allowing PMS to be radioed (maintenance not done but logged as complete to satisfy the paperwork gurus in DC), or systems being broken down and the ship lacking the parts and trained personnel to fix them.
The latter has long been a cost saving measure. Ships are given fewer repair parts aboard to save money while the crew is pared down in size and training on maintenance and repairs skipped in favor of "core competencies." That is the crew gets trained to operate the equipment and little more. Maintenance is limited to periodic inspections and cleaning.
What happens is stuff breaks down. The CO wants the ship to complete its ordered mission, etc., regardless because having to return to port or reporting serious maintenance issues will get him /her marked down on the bureaucratic side and possibly passed over for promotion.

That I doubt. On the other hand, they are likely to eventually hit and cripple a surface combatant like a destroyer or cruiser.
It hasn’t happened, yet.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt has a tarp hiding its damage, but it will be removed for repairs once it docks in San Diego. Videos of the damage will be available soon.

MSNBC is a pile of morons“The Rachel Maddow Show,” the liberal network’s highest-rated program, drew 1.3 million viewers on Monday, about a million shy of her October average, according to Nielsen. In a crucial ratings metric — viewers under the age of 54 — it was the least-watched edition of the show since April 2022.
That performance mirrors much of what has been happening at MSNBC in the week since Mr. Trump’s election win. MSNBC has averaged 550,000 viewers since Election Day, a 39 percent decline compared with the network’s average in October. In prime time, MSNBC’s audience has declined 53 percent, according to the Nielsen data.

They all stink to some degree. Nobody likes to be lied to, or manipulated, or have his intelligence insulted by celebrities who project their disdain for their audience along with their political opinions that they demand their audience embrace.
Their audiences control the ratings, and their audiences are in the process of savaging those ratings. Their iron-grip control is gone. We the People are being freed. The MSM can fuck off and die, and We will all live happily ever after.

I watch MSNBS and CNN about once a week just to see what the latest lie is. It is amazing what they tell people. I'm not surprised that they are losing viewers. You can only lie to smart people so long before they leave.“The Rachel Maddow Show,” the liberal network’s highest-rated program, drew 1.3 million viewers on Monday, about a million shy of her October average, according to Nielsen.

They are not lying. Just saying stuff no one cares about.
Yet you repeat every right wing media stuff from FOX everyday.

I'm like you; I don't watch Fox News. I don't watch any of them. I can't repeat them ... but they might be repeating me.
Yet everything you write is standard right wing rhetoric.
There is no carrier in the Red Sea. No carrier in the Persian Gulf, and no carrier in the Mediterranean Sea. Can you explain why?

Because there's rarely, if ever, a carrier in the Red Sea. Right now, the USS Abraham Lincoln is in the IO off Oman and has the ability to cover Yemen with air power aboard.
There are two US Destroyers in the Red Sea.
As for the Teddy Roosevelt, show me where the damage is...
Given that this carrier is currently tied up at North Island in San Diego, if it were damaged significantly, it would be visible and there would be photos.

Your pic of the USS Theodore Roosevelt is at least 5 months old.
There are no carriers in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, or Mediterranean Sea.
Someone in the pentagon is smart enough to know they risk being sunk.
