AFAIK a lot are there to protect trading ship routes that have been attacked by rebels or so.
A failed mission so far, and could have been avoided if they stopped the genocide in Gaza. The Yemeni military said so multiple times they will stop if the genocide stops.
Some were probably helping with the makeshift port they wanted to use to supply trapped starving Palestinians.
Another failed mission and unnecessary. The US could have demanded Israel open up its ports and border crossings for aid. The US could have conditioned the bombs it sends to facilitate the genocide on allowing aid in.
Dunno who authorized it, but it’s also not important, because those ships are cruising around in international waters anyway. They minimize the time docked in ports for strategic reasons. They also get authorization from that nation when entering territorial waters, except if they are in a hostile situation with that nation, of course.
All I see is legitimate non-grata targets, I won’t act on it, but others in the region might.
Legitimate targets for what?
Who! not what, we are people too.
Legitimate targets for anyone with honor and dignity. People normally don’t like foreign soldiers strutting around their land or water. I know you wouldn’t tolerate Chinese or Russian navies doing the same. Don’t expect us to accept what you wouldn’t.
Who wants to fight the US Navy?
Lots do. Even if the means are limited. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cole_bombing
My question was for what actions? Do you seriously think you can sink a US warship? At least pretend to be credible when making inane threats.
That said, the last foreign army occupying my homeland was Russian, depending on whether you consider foreign Chinese policemen on your streets a foreign army.
I think they meant “what” would attacking them accomplish. It just starts a useless fight with nothing to gain.

Notice the USS Cole is still there. I guarantee they’re still pissed about that. Not the ship you want to target again. They’re likely to overreact.
