Houthis FIRED on USS Laboon... This Was the U.S. Navy’s Response

Описание: ESTADOS UNIDOS
In early April 2025, the Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched yet another wave of drone and missile attacks from western Yemen into the Red Sea. But this time, their target wasn’t a cargo ship or an oil tanker — it was the USS Laboon (DDG-58), a fully armed U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer on patrol as part of Operation Prosperity Guardian.

The Houthis didn’t realize they had picked the wrong fight. Within seconds, the ship’s Aegis Combat System went active. SM-2 and SM-6 interceptors were launched. Phalanx CIWS systems opened fire. Every threat was neutralized before impact — and the response didn’t end there.

Hours later, F/A-18 Super Hornets launched from a nearby carrier strike group delivered a precision strike on the Houthi launch site. Supported by EA-18G Growlers and Reaper drones, the U.S. Navy sent a message loud and clear: any attack on an American warship will be met with overwhelming force.

This video breaks down exactly what happened — from the incoming drone swarm to the immediate U.S. retaliation — and what this means for the future of naval operations in the Red Sea.

Do you think the U.S. Navy should respond even more aggressively to future attacks, or keep striking with precision?
