US Naval assets in the Red Sea have repeatedly come under Houthi fire …
No, no, it’s the assets on the Red Sea that have come under Houthi fire. The ones in the Red Sea, like this jet, are perfectly safe.
US Naval assets in the Red Sea have repeatedly come under Houthi fire since the Houthis began their attacks against Red Sea shipping in November 2023.
No mention of why they’re attacking, of course.
"You see, because they’re

"When I’ve interjected into my co-worker’s conversation about it, I’ve asked them point-blank “I wonder why they’re doing it”, and the question just slid right off their brains and they moved on to other topics. That’s just one anecdote, but it suggests to me that the average NYT reading American lib is not even aware of Ansar Allah’s demands and objectives.
Ah I always wondered what happened to them after they faded from public consciousness
Nonexistent Houthi Air Force now 3-0
That’s not even including all of the drones they’ve downed.
I should join the navy and start just not tying down the planes for fun
F/A-18s are for responsible owners only. If you forget to put water in their bowl, they’re gonna get thirsty like this.
Unlike the Mogwai, they don’t multiply in water.
“Mr. President, a second F/A-18 has hit the ocean”
pats pants
Where the hell did i put that US Navy Jet?
looking overboard
I mean it’s not, like, lost lost, I know it’s down there somewhere
This gives me a great idea for a new claw machine game
great more trash in the ocean
It belongs to the orcas now.
At this point I’m wondering if the Houthi military are actually shooting them down, and the US just doesn’t want to admit that.
Good point from regular commentator MarmiteLover123 in the newsmega:
The first one fell overboard due to evasive maneuvers by the aircraft carrier during an Ansarallah/Houthi attack, this one was because of an arrestor cable or hook failure on landing. They’re not getting shot down directly, if they were you’d be hearing about it from Yemeni sources (who are very quick to claim the shootdown of MQ-9s over Yemen for instance) and the US Navy would have to mount a search and rescue operation in Yemen to prevent the massive propaganda win of Yemen parading around captured US Navy pilots. The Truman had been deployed for over 7½ months now, clearly the crew is quite fatigued.
That is a very good point, the crew are probably very stressed and fatigued (imagine, they actually are fighting an opponent who can strike them back) so it’s hardly surprising they’re making these sorts of mistakes.
I imagine so many young people who enlist in the Navy would never expect a real conflict to involve them in this way. I knew someone who was in the Navy on a ship in the Persian Gulf during the war in Iraq, they talked about the cramped quarters and various chores, but said even though they were technically in war it was pretty much uneventful the whole time.
Weren’t the headlines filled with stories of fragile US sailors whining about how the war wasn’t luxurious enough for them, just a few months ago?
Poseidon’s fleet grows
Comrade Ocean strikes again.
Now that countries are cancelling F35 orders, this is how they have decided to get rid of old F16s to make way for the overstock.
My thoughts exactly
This is actually part of a much deeper CIA plot to arm deep sea eldritch horrors in order to further destabilize the region.
I don’t have free healthcare because F-16s are being thrown into the ocean…
Most lethal army in the world!
