“Axios” Reveals Red Sea is Devoid of U.S. Warships, Focused in Other Regions

NYN | Reports and analyses

The American website “Axios” reported that the Red Sea is currently devoid of any U.S. warships and revealed the positioning of U.S. naval forces in the Middle East region.

On Wednesday, the site published a report featuring a map that illustrates the locations of U.S. military naval assets in the area.

The map showed that the U.S. aircraft carriers “Roosevelt” and “Abraham Lincoln,” along with eight destroyers, are stationed in the Gulf of Oman. Meanwhile, a war submarine, three destroyers, and three amphibious ships are located east of the Mediterranean Sea.

The map also indicated that there are no warships present in the Red Sea. The site commented on the Red Sea map, stating, “There are no known warships, but U.S. forces continue to monitor Houthi activities.”

A previous report by the British newspaper “The Telegraph” confirmed that the U.S. Navy does not have any warships in the Red Sea, and there are no warships from the “Sentinel Watch” coalition within 500 miles of the operational area.

This information supports the narrative provided by the Sana’a government forces regarding their success in driving the U.S. Navy away and asserting control over the operational area in the Red Sea.

In a related development, the former commander of the U.S. aircraft carrier group “Eisenhower,” Admiral Mark Miguez, stated in a YouTube interview with the vlogger Ward Carroll this week that he had to reposition the carrier several times to protect it from Houthi attacks, noting that the intensity of drone attacks was something the U.S. forces had not trained for.

Earlier, the American magazine “Foreign Policy” discussed the failure of extensive Western naval operations, which lasted several months, to stop the attacks by Sana’a government forces supporting Gaza in the Red Sea.
