A host recounts their father's experience as a Merchant Marine in World War II and Vietnam, highlighting the historical vulnerability of supply ships. The discussion contrasts past naval warfare with modern "sea drones"—miniature speedboats designed to detonate against larger vessels.
U.S. warships and fighter jets have intercepted dozens of drones and missiles launched by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. While the U.S. claims these are "one-way attack drones," some observers question the nature of the conflict and the lack of direct strikes on Houthi launch sites in Yemen.
The U.S. Navy foiled an attempt by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to capture an American maritime drone in the Persian Gulf. A four-hour standoff ensued after an Iranian ship was spotted towing the unmanned vessel, ending only after the USS Thunderbolt and a Seahawk helicopter intervened. The Navy stated the drone contained no sensitive or classified information.
