NEW Senior U.S. official:
US Navy personnel from the USS Mason responded to a distress call from the crew onboard an Israeli linked tanker. 5 armed gunmen tried to hijack the ship in Gulf of Aden. US Navy pursued toward Yemen. Warning shots fired. Gunmen now being interrogated.— Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) November 26, 2023
Last time the Mason was attacked by the houthis we TLAM'd the launch sites, and those were from C-801 knock offs, not ballistic missiles.
You don't attack a US warship and get away with it without paying a price. https://t.co/DvDHFGQfJv

The U.S. Navy has taken back control of the Israel-affiliated tanker “Central Park Vessel" after it was hijacked by Yemeni Houthi rebels earlier today.
