Drones, land-attack cruise missiles, high-diver ballistic missiles and anti-ship missiles were all destroyed in the Red Sea by the US Navy’s USS Laboon, a destroyer which just returned home after being under attack and persistent threat of attack .. for eight months.
“We knew something was going to happen going in,” were words used by USS Laboon Commanding Officer Capt. Eric Blomberg upon returning his destroyer and crew from 9 months of maritime warfare in the Red Sea.
Preparing “early” before deployment was part of the reason for the ships combat power success, which included the successful intercept and destruction of 13 drones, two anti-ship missiles, four land attack cruise missiles headed toward Israel and eight high-diver ballistic missiles.
