Decisive Strike: How U.S. Navy Helicopters Crushed Houthi Assault Boats

In a recent naval operation off the Yemeni coast, U.S. Navy H-60 Seahawk helicopters successfully neutralized three of four assault boats operated by Houthi forces. These boats were engaging in a hostile attempt to intercept the MV Maersk Hangzhou, a civilian vessel navigating through the area. This incident is notable as it marks the first use of American rotary-wing aircraft in direct action against Houthi elements in the region, a significant development following the increased tensions stemming from the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Attack helicopters have a possible role in neutralizing manned and unmanned small vessel threats. Think an Apache gunship taking on multiple seaborne drones and manned pirate or suicide vessels...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
