The Houthi militant group in Yemen made the bold claim that it drove away the United States Navy after the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) departed from the Middle East.
On Saturday, USS Abraham Lincoln arrived at Port Klang, Malaysia for the second scheduled port call on its 2024 deployment. This left the U.S. without a carrier in the region for the first time in more than a year, apart from a brief period in June, and that allowed the Houthis to declare victory.
"[Yemeni missiles] can do things that are just amazing," the U.S. Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Bill LaPlante told the Middle Eastern-based The Cradle.
"I'm an engineer and a physicist, and I've been around missiles my whole career. What I've seen of what the Houthis have done in the last six months is something that – I'm just shocked."
As the U.S. continues to make moves with its warships, it must be careful not to make a mistake!
