The Tomahawks were launched from the destroyer USS Nitze at about 4 a.m. at three locations in territory held by Houthi rebels north of the Bab el-Mandeb strait, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said. President Obama authorized the strikes upon the recommendations of Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and Marine Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “These limited self-defense strikes were conducted to protect our personnel, our ships, and our freedom of navigation in this important maritime passageway,” Cook said. “The United States will respond to any further threat to our ships and commercial traffic, as appropriate, and will continue to maintain our freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandeb, and elsewhere around the world.” [ Source ] View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely the former. I do wonder though if the Chinese are a bit worried about their missiles, since they keep falling short and missing their targets. Could be operator error too I guess.

Our sailors do not get much live target practice these days, seems Iranian ships would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The things I've learned and the way things have gone, I have no idea what the US response should be, and really, my opinion means squat. I'm just sitting in the audience going, "Hoo-boy."
