The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer was deployed for "routine operations" with the US 5th and 6th Fleets in late September 2023, but quickly found itself in the center of a hornet’s nest of escalating Middle East tensions in October after Hamas' surprise attack on Israel, and the subsequent Israeli aerial bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza.

The USS Carney became the first US warship to engage Houthi drones and missiles, with the Yemeni militia attempting to strike Israel starting on October 19, and the American warship deployed to shield Tel Aviv. The militia switched tactics in November, setting up a semi-blockade of the Red and Arabian Seas, unilaterally closing the bodies of water to all vessels with suspected "Israeli links."
The warship escorted commercial vessels in an attempt to shield them from Houthi strikes, and itself became targeted repeatedly by drones and missiles. Beginning in January, the destroyer began firing its cruise missiles at targets inside Yemen in a desperate bid to weaken the Houthis’ strike potential.   “I could not be more proud of what the Carney team has done since September,” US Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti said at a ceremony welcoming the warship to Norfolk. “Called to action on the very first day that you entered the US 5th Fleet, you conducted 51 engagements in 6 months,” the admiral said.

SO, the Arleigh Burke has been in the middle east since late September 2023, protecting shipping, shooting down missiles and drones, hitting targets in Yemen, and KICKING the Houthis' ASSES for OVER 6 MONTHS... I think the ONLY reason they left the region NOW... was because they COMPLETED their mission, were low on munitions and provisions, and HAD COMPLETED their deployment...

I think there will be another ship there soon, and the Houthis are ONLY whistling past the graveyard... because THEY KNOW... the graveyard will likely SOON be THEIRS !!
How about truth straight from the US NAVY.....catch up Sparky, read better. :wave:  

“One missile to intercept an incoming [strategic] missile is $80 million,” King told gathered DoD officials. “Well in the Red Sea, the Houthis are sending $20,000 drones and we’re shooting them down with missiles that cost $4.3 million. The math doesn’t work on that, gentlemen. It just doesn’t work. What are we thinking?” King, an advocate of directed energy weapon-based defenses, asked.

I merely saw hyperbole. You saw truth... apparently.
You like to hyperventilate while saying others hyperventilate.

Take a breath. You aren't even involved. Trannies got claws, bitch. Image

They left because of the ammo issue discussed.

Moral: Try to title your threads without the hyperbole to get attention. :wave:

a minor point:

Deployed Navy combatants never get low on munitions and provisions.  They are constantly being replenished at sea by a variety of replenishment ships (AO, AE, AOE, AF) carrying all the food, fuel, and ammo that they go through.

The only reason the Burke went home was that her deployment period was over and it was time to let other units inchop and take her place.  Every ship has an operations cycle that is constantly repeating:  overhaul, refresher training, deployment, repair availability, local ops, retrofit, deployment.... rinse lather repeat.

You haven't noticed how supply chain is broken down. Yes I read the sarcasm in your mind's superiority complex state.

What do you expect a dying country to do?
Just turn out the lights and pretend we aren't here?

Bleating the same refrain is informing who exactly?
I know you must be getting something out of it.
Seems pretty dull and dull-minded to me after the 100th time, though.

Please don't go to the "watch somebody squirm" ****. That's as predictable as anything.

So, to sum up: Yes, we're in decline not ascension.
Who is listening to your oft-repeated messaging?

The US Mafia/War Empire crumbling as a new multi-polar world is emerging quickly?
A new pole/pact to oppose the West arrived quicker than most thought?
It is the most all encompassing story of our day?
It involves the largest war since WW2?  Threatening WW3?

Who is listening?  If yer not listening then yer a lost soul.  You be you Lil Dezzy :wave:
