Red Sea Showdown: How US Navy Seahawks Stopped a Ship Attack

Описание: Red Sea Showdown: How US Navy Seahawks Stopped a Ship Attack

The Red Sea, a critical artery for global trade, has become one of the most volatile maritime passages in the world. In the pale light of dawn, the container ship Maersk Hangzhou sent a desperate distress call. It was under attack by multiple fast-attack craft, its crew and security team facing a rapidly escalating threat of being boarded or destroyed. This is the moment-by-moment story of that engagement.

Answering the call were two MH-60R Seahawk helicopters, call signs Lancer 71 and Lancer 72, operating from the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely. Scrambling from 26 nautical miles away, the crews raced against time as rockets and tracer fire filled the air around the merchant vessel. This video breaks down the tactical situation, the capabilities of the Seahawk, and the incredible professionalism of the pilots who flew directly into the line of fire.

We explore the anatomy of the attack, the immediate response by the helicopter crews to defend the Hangzhou, and the wider consequences of the assault. Following the immediate threat, U.S. forces located and engaged the coastal radar sites and weapons facilities that enabled the attack, signaling a clear message about the protection of international waters.

This event is a stark reminder of the dangers facing commercial shipping and the vital role the US Navy plays in maintaining maritime security. What are your thoughts on this level of regional instability? Let us know in the comments below.
