Salute to the USS Carney, sailing in harms way
The USS Carney Sails Alone
The USS Carney (DDG-64) again answered the distress calls from endangered shipping vessels. In fact, it was this time last week that I was writing about the Carney swatting missiles and drones pouring forth from Houthi-occupied Yemen, an Iran-backed movement and territory. Why is it that only the Carney is doing the work? I couldn’t say. The venerable destroyer is part of the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, so presumably, other hulls are nearby. However, after a quick search, most of the strike group is visiting Souda Bay, Greece, catching some rays and chilling on the beach, while the Carney sweats it out dodging missiles in the waters between Yemen and Somalia. The short end of the stick doesn’t even come close to describing that arrangement. The Biden administration should probably work on explaining why these launch sites aren’t seeing explosive visitation because, leaving aside a U.S. warship needing to defend itself, the civilian vessels have no connection whatsoever to the Israel–Hamas conflict.
