A Houthi missile got so close to a US destroyer the warship turned to a last-resort gun system to shoot it down: report
Story by insider@insider.com (Ella Sherman,Jake Epstein) • 19h


A Houthi missile recently put a US destroyer's close-in weapons system to the test, a report said.

A warship's CIWS is usually considered its last line of defense and is for close-range intercepts.
The Tuesday incident marks the latest Houthi missile attack, though not the latest exchange of fire.
 
A Houthi anti-ship cruise missile fired into the Red Sea came within a mile of a US Navy destroyer on Tuesday, a report said, close enough that the American warship turned to its close-in weapons system — a last line of defense.

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

Fishrrman totally off-the-wall™ prediction:
Before this is over, at least one U.S. Navy ship is going to end up at the bottom of the Red Sea...
