problematic video like all of these - single boat becomes 2 boats, outboard skiff becomes Iranian fast boat, sailor wears covid mask. Shot of 3 skiffs and Navy helicopter taken from above by what? Shot of 2 skiffs surrounding a cargo junk obviously taken elsewhere. And many other anomalies.

Verdict: Fake Video/Click Bait.

Oooops!  They thought they had a nice, soft target like a cargo vessel but it turned out to be a US Navy destroyer.

The video was produced by the Navy, what did you expect?  Propaganda from CNN?

Right.  Besides, if CNN produced it, the Navy would have surrendered to the Somali's.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

It still is a fake video with numerous errors that the Navy never would have allowed - it seems to be taken from various promo Navy clips spliced with other clips. The same voice-over is present on most of these fake videos from MSN.

Clue is in the address - https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/

A very poor source of "military" news.
