#USSLaboon Arleigh Burke destroyer of #USNavy deployed in #RedSea !

 

The destroyer USS Laboon has entered the Red Sea joining USS Mason and USS Carney amid continuous attacks by Houthis on international shipping. USS Laboon (DDG-58) is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in the task force headed by the aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower that was dispatched to the Middle East as war broke out between Israel and Hamas in October. USS Mason and Carney have been patrolling the Red Sea for more than a month and intercepting dozens of drones and missiles launched by Houthi forces from Yemen. Viewers may note that about 15% of world shipping traffic transits via the Red Sea and Suez Canal, the shortest shipping route between Europe and Asia.
