US aircraft carrier counters false Houthi claims with 'Taco Tuesdays' as deployment stretches on

The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower may be one of the oldest aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy, but it’s still fighting — despite repeated false claims by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

“I think it’s been about two or three times in the past six months we’ve allegedly been sunk, which we have not been,” Hill told The Associated Press during a recent visit to the carrier. “It is almost comical at this point. They’re attempting to maybe inspire themselves through misinformation, but it doesn’t work on us.”

    Actually hitting a modern USN vessel with cruise missiles is like throwing a dart at a haystack and trying to hit the one needle.

    I said it before, but I’m pretty sure they only sunk the one container ship, and even then after a week of it slowly taking on water.

      They have no chance, it’s a lost cause. They’re tools of and for Iran. Another poster said, these groups need propaganda to sustain. If their people realized how full of shit they are on everything, they’d be strung up.
