US Naval assets in the Red Sea have repeatedly come under Houthi fire ...
No, no, it's the assets on the Red Sea that have come under Houthi fire. The ones in the Red Sea, like this jet, are perfectly safe.

Wonder what Bikini Bottom will do with a 2nd jet...
-
I should join the navy and start just not tying down the planes for fun
-
Nonexistent Houthi Air Force now 3-0
-
That's not even including all of the drones they've downed.

US Naval assets in the Red Sea have repeatedly come under Houthi fire since the Houthis began their attacks against Red Sea shipping in November 2023.
No mention of why they're attacking, of course.

"You see, because they're

When I've interjected into my co-worker's conversation about it, I've asked them point-blank "I wonder why they're doing it", and the question just slid right off their brains and they moved on to other topics. That's just one anecdote, but it suggests to me that the average NYT reading American lib is not even aware of Ansar Allah's demands and objectives.

Ah I always wondered what happened to them after they faded from public consciousness

Hey, you gotta restore the coral reefs somehow.

F/A-18s are for responsible owners only. If you forget to put water in their bowl, they're gonna get thirsty like this.

Unlike the Mogwai, they don't multiply in water.

"Mr. President, a second F/A-18 has hit the ocean"

great more trash in the ocean

It belongs to the orcas now.

pats pants
Where the hell did i put that US Navy Jet?
-
looking overboard
I mean it's not, like, lost lost, I know it's down there somewhere
-
This gives me a great idea for a new claw machine game

At this point I'm wondering if the Houthi military are actually shooting them down, and the US just doesn't want to admit that.
-
Good point from regular commentator MarmiteLover123 in the newsmega:
The first one fell overboard due to evasive maneuvers by the aircraft carrier during an Ansarallah/Houthi attack, this one was because of an arrestor cable or hook failure on landing. They're not getting shot down directly, if they were you'd be hearing about it from Yemeni sources (who are very quick to claim the shootdown of MQ-9s over Yemen for instance) and the US Navy would have to mount a search and rescue operation in Yemen to prevent the massive propaganda win of Yemen parading around captured US Navy pilots. The Truman had been deployed for over 7½ months now, clearly the crew is quite fatigued.

Now that countries are cancelling F35 orders, this is how they have decided to get rid of old F16s to make way for the overstock.
-
My thoughts exactly
-
-
This is actually part of a much deeper CIA plot to arm deep sea eldritch horrors in order to further destabilize the region.
-
I don't have free healthcare because F-16s are being thrown into the ocean...
-
It will be better off as a habitat for fish
-
Nice. Just goes to show the longer they deploy these dipshits the sloppier they get
-
turns out wokeness is also what keeps the planes on the deck, not just in the sky.
-
Most lethal army in the world!
-
Wasn't there one during the Biden sundowning? If so that's three on the board.
-
They supposedly shot the first one down with friendly fire.
-
Fair enough. I remembered the headline, but not the details. I just had a look and it seems like they're still being very vague about how one boat came to shoot down a jet taking off from another. Regardless, since they're only there because of the Red Sea blockade I'm gonna count it for Ansar Allah creating the space for the own-goal.

Its okay since the captain is Trump's cousin's second mother in-law's third husband's Bible study friends' sister's husband. He is very talented $$$$. I'm sure the tax payer will be happy to cover it.
