After the Houthi attack on the Hangzhou container ship (Singapore-flagged), almost all the large transport ships in the Gulf of Aden heading for the Red Sea Suez Canal have made a hurried U-turn (green arrow to the right), or are preparing to detour to the Cape of Good Hope or wander at sea, according to a YouTube shipping blogger. Only Cosco's Kilimanjaro is still sailing to the Red Sea without hesitation. Nearby is the Djibouti-based plan convoy. Whether the Red Sea operation will be carried out to escort the Cosco ship safely through the Houthi ambush area, the melon-eating crowd will wait and see.
According to the investigation, the Kilimanjaro is about 10,000 tons, which departed from Qingdao at the beginning of the month, stopping at Ningbo, Shekou, and Singapore on the way, and is expected to arrive at the Saudi Jetta port on the same day.
The U.S. military command tweeted that the Hangzhou sent a distress signal saying it was attacked by missiles while sailing at the southern end of the Red Sea. Two U.S. destroyers received a call to go to the rescue, and at this moment, the Houthis fired two anti-ship missiles at the same time, both of which were shot down by the U.S. military. Subsequently, four Houthi rebel ships launched an attack on the Hangzhou. The U.S. Navy's repulsion was met with a stubborn counterattack by the Houthis, and the U.S. military resolutely returned fire, sinking three Houthi ships and killing Houthi fighters. Yellow beard mourned.
The Houthis in Yemen don't know how many pounds and taels they have, and the result is tragic!
On December 31, four Yemeni Houthi speedboats attempted to attack a Singaporean-flagged container ship, but the result was tragic: three were sunk by U.S. forces and 10 people were killed.
According to reports, in addition to its name "Hangzhou", the cargo ship is also berthed in China, and it should be a cargo ship whose business is closely related to China.
Demonstrate and shout two voices, don't really hit a stone with an egg!
The United States directly sank 3 Houthi boats.
Three Houthi speedboats reportedly sank last night in the southern part of the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen, killing 10 Houthi*** who reportedly headed several SH-60 "Sea Hawks" from USS Dwight D.

At 6:30 a.m. (Sana'a time) on December 31, the container ship Maersk Hangzhou sent a second distress signal in less than 24 hours, reporting an attack by four Iranian-backed Houthi boats. The boats, which came from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, sent crew and light to the Maersk Hangzhou, less than 20 meters from the ship, and attempted to board the ship. A contract security team on Maersk Hanzgho returned fire. The USS Eisenhower (CVN 69) and USS Graveley (DDG 107) responded to the distress signal, and in the course of a verbal call to the dinghy, the dinghy was staffed with **and light** to the American *** crew. The U.S. Navy returned fire in self-defense, sinking three of the four small boats and killing the crew. The fourth ship fled the area. There was no damage to U.S. military personnel or equipment.
