    The ship turned off AIS when crossing past the red sea. I'm not sure why they went back after turning around even after the US warned all Americans ships to avoid the southern red sea.

    The only thing you achieved by striking Yemen was to put YOUR commercials vessel at risk lol. Now no insurance wants to cover your vessel. Hold that big fat L centcom.

    Maybe if our President didn't put a 30 day stay on the declaration today, our fine service members would have bombed them back into the Stone Age already. Too bad he is more concerned about starving Houthis that US lives.
