Arrr! On the high seas o' the Red Sea, our U.S. warships be takin' on a merry dance with nearly two dozen pesky drones and missin' missiles! A grand tussle it were, as cannonballs sang and sails flapped like a parrot on a sugar high! Savvy?

Avast ye landlubbers! A trio of stout U.S. warships found themselves under fire off the coast of Yemen, beset by the dastardly Houthi rebels who’ve been causin’ chaos on the high seas. But fear not, for not a single sailor was harmed on that fateful Friday! Aye, those brave vessels shot down a veritable storm of missiles and drones whilst navigatin’ the narrow straits of Bab al-Mandab.

The gallant ships, the USS Stockdale, USS Spruance, and the littoral combat ship USS Indianapolis, faced a barrage of attacks, yet they remained unscathed, much to the delight of their crew. Pentagon’s own Sabrina Singh reported that this complex assault was met with fierce resistance, and the Houthi’s efforts were largely thwarted. It seems these scallywags have been attackin’ not just warships but commercial vessels too, with trade through the Red Sea plummeting like a cannonball!

In the wake of such audacity, Senator Roger Wicker declared the Houthi’s antics as nothing short of an act of war! As the Biden-Harris crew continues their "play defense" strategy, the seas remain rife with tension. So, hoist the sails and prepare for battle, for the pirates of the modern age be not just a tale of yore, but a present-day ruckus on the briny deep!
