Naval Air: Largest Carrier Airstrike Ever
Ezoic
June 24, 2025: Last month the U.S. Navy carrier Truman/CVN-75 carried out the largest series of airstrikes in naval history, using nearly 60 tons of missies and bombs. This took place in the Red Sea where Iran-backed Shia Houthi rebels in Yemen were firing rockets and missiles at commercial shipping moving north towards the Suez Cana. The only ships exempt were those from China or Russia, two of the three countries that sponsor the Houthis. Until this year Iran was supplying the Houthis with missiles and rockets.
The ability of the Houthis to continue firing at the ships encouraged more Islamic terrorists to assemble in Somalia, where they could receive weapons and support from the Houthis across Gulf of Aden in Yemen. The United States noted this and increased the number of airstrikes against the Islamic terrorists. There have been 25 of these airstrikes so far but their intensity is increasing. That indicates that the total number of airstrikes could reach 70 by the end of the year, not including what the Israelis do.
The carrier Truman was called in to deliver a knockout against the Houthis and did so with the largest ever number of airstrikes against a single target, the Houthis in Yemen. It worked and in early May this year Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping ceased.
