Haben die Houthis nicht das zivile Fracht- Schiff, also die „Gibraltar Eagle“ getroffen, wie das US-Central-Command behauptet, sondern ein US- Kriegs-Schiff der Arleigh Burke-Class?
Hier im Standbild das beschädigte Schiff, das KEIN ziviles Fracht-Schiff ist, wie man schnell erkennen kann.
Man vergleiche die Shilouetten, oben das von den Houthis getroffene Schiff, unten die DDG 64 – USS Carney – ein Schiff der Aleigh Burke Class – hier die Beschreibung der Schiffe dieser Klasse das zur Shilouette des obigen Schiffes passen würde.
Die USA haben 72 (zwei-und-siebzig) Schiffe dieser Klasse, sollte eines beschädigt ausfallen, fällt das also nicht großartig auf.

The Arleigh Burke class of guided-missile destroyers (DDGs) is a United States Navy class of destroyer centered around the Aegis Combat System and the SPY-1D multi-function passive electronically scanned array radar. The class is named for Admiral Arleigh Burke, an American destroyer officer in World War II and later Chief of Naval Operations. With an overall length of 505 to 509.5 feet (153.9 to 155.3 m), displacement ranging from 8,300 to 9,700 tons, and weaponry including over 90 missiles, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are larger and more heavily armed than many previous classes of guided-missile cruisers.
These warships are multi-mission destroyers able to conduct anti-aircraft warfare with Aegis and surface-to-air missiles; tactical land strikes with Tomahawk missiles; anti-submarine warfare (ASW) with towed array sonar, anti-submarine rockets, and ASW helicopters; and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) with ship-to-ship missiles and guns.
With upgrades to their AN/SPY-1 radar systems and their associated missile payloads as part of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, as well as the introduction of the AN/SPY-6 radar system, the class has also evolved capability as mobile anti-ballistic missile and anti-satellite platforms.
