"US Carrier Pilots Hunt Houthi Threat in Yemen, Iran Warns of Spy Ships"

U.S. carrier pilots aboard the USS Eisenhower in the Red Sea are adapting their training to hunt down Houthi missiles and drones targeting commercial shipping. In a joint U.S.-U.K. mission, airstrikes were carried out in Yemen to target Iranian-supplied weapons used by Houthi forces. The pilots lack ground support in Houthi-controlled areas, and it remains uncertain whether the airstrikes will deter future attacks. The Houthi strikes pose a threat to global shipping and supply chains. The pilots also have the task of defending the Navy flotilla and demonstrating the safety of the Red Sea for civilian navigation.
