Planes from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower have been heavily involved in combating Houthi threats.

The aircraft carrier has planes in the sky "constantly," the strike group's commander said.

Keeping aircraft ready for missions is a substantial effort with a lot of moving parts.


ABOARD USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER IN THE RED SEA — It's loud, hot, and busy on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier with heavily armed fighter jets taking off and landing around the clock.

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

You just know the pilots won't be able to fire first and then only after a series of requests to do so work their way through the chain of command.  Wait until the Houthis kill a bunch of people and then wait for the proper response from a woke office dweller somewhere.  Now that's what I call head to head! :3:
