LOL, I don't know anything.

I was working on various shipboard systems but not anything missile related. I read about it on the news like you probably did. We probably had some company mention of it that would have been unclassified.

That is next door. lots of missiles can do that in the ME. As far as I know, the Iran 'Paveh' cruise missile is the only one that can reach Israel.

Whether or not they were fired at our ships or Israel, one thing to note is that the distance of the closest tips between Yemen and Israel are 1,000 miles away from each other.

The terrorists having +1,000 mile range missiles changes the battlefield drastically.



Not new,  these guys have been firing missiles for years.
At UAE, Dubai, Bahrain, and Qatar. 500 miles max.

This is new.

We should invade Yemen and then spend 15 years there and add 20 trillion to the debt, then import several million of them here as refugees. That will show them!

My favorite part of this thread is how everyone says it's only true if CNN and Fox or some other fake news outlet reports it.

Yeah, that really settles it, lol!  

I'm not going to defend ZeroHedge, which mostly just compiles articles from other sites, but to act like CNN and Fox have some monopoly on truth is the funniest thing I've heard this week, and I like to watch comedy...

I want to see some actual intel on the missiles that were launched.  How are the targeted?  Guidance systems?  Where exactly was the US Tin can?  

I predicted we would get missiles shot at our ships when Dipshit announced he was sending a battle group there, these may have been targeted elsewhere, but it's only a matter of time.

The same exact thought crossed my mind. They haven't yet realized that it's already begun, and that avoiding accountability is fucking weak and enabling the new axis to establish itself.

The world has lost respect for U.S. as the super power, and the consequences of that are about to play out.

Touch up your preps now, the stuff you need won't be available when you need it later. If you have more than "touching up"- you better get started in a hurry.

Whether the missiles were targeting our ship, or, more likely, a target in Israel...

Either way, this is direct U.S. Military involvement in the Israeli conflict. Which is something that hasn't occurred in the past. It engages our forces in the conflict, which is an escalation. A significant one.

Saw a few things talking about R2-D2's angry cousin getting play time... but "launched from Yemen to Israel" means they would have to fly pretty near by the boat to be taken out by CIWS, wouldn't they?  Could explain some thinking the ship was targeted.

Not aware the Houthi had missiles with that range.

That would make more sense.  Though now I'm going to have to remember sky rockets in flight making love!

I will never not love "R2-D2's angry cousin" though.

Well, except it has happened before. Houthis in Yemen actually shot at a USN ship a few years back, which is a little more escalatory than this incident. No "Gulf of Tonkin" incident. Maybe it will be leveraged to be something more, it wasn't last time though.

I mean, it didn't have to be particularly close to the ship to whack it.

As far as the drones, it would be easy to see those as a greater threat to the ship than the LACMs.
