> “The destroyers successfully engaged and defeated three anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs), three one-way attack uncrewed aerial systems (OWA UAS), and one anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM), ensuring the safety of the ships and their personnel, as well as civilian vessels and their crews.”

At least the destroyers were able to beat off the attacks. The Houthis were not using the new hypersonic ones, were they? I think the age of surface military ships has reached its end. Unmanned vehicles are now to easy to use and cause catastrophic loss, like $500M per ship for the cost of perhaps $50K. Not an advantageous trade-off, is it?
