US investigation reveals collapse of American navy amid Yemeni operations
WASHINGTON, Dec. 05 (YPA) -The American news agency Associated Press has described the scale of deterioration within the US Navy during its involvement in the aggression against Yemen as “significant,” confirming that combat with Yemeni Armed Forces has been the primary cause behind a string of catastrophic incidents that inflicted substantial losses on Washington and exposed the fragility of its naval capabilities despite its massive arsenal.
According to a new AP investigation, the Red Sea has, over the past year, turned into the longest and most strenuous naval confrontation waged by the United States since World War II, owing to continuous Yemeni operations that disrupted American warships, exhausted their crews, and revealed their inability to adapt to a high-risk operational environment.
The report states that precise Yemeni missile strikes, paired with specialized naval operations, pushed the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and its escort ships into a state of extreme depletion.
Investigators documented rising levels of “numbness among crew members” and a loss of purpose among sailors—an indicator of the profound psychological breakdown affecting what is nominally the world’s strongest navy.
One of the most striking incidents cited by the AP involved the cruiser USS Gettysburg, which mistakenly opened fire on two American fighter jets belonging to the Truman strike group after the crew wrongly assumed they were incoming Yemeni missiles, leading to the downing of one of the aircraft.
The investigation stresses that this was not an isolated human error but a direct result of the pressure imposed by Yemeni operations, which robbed US naval crews of the ability to properly distinguish threats and make sound decisions.
The agency notes that investigators documented four preventable incidents, with total losses exceeding $100 million within seconds due to panicked and unstable responses—reflecting the extent of fear and tension inside command rooms aboard US vessels deployed throughout the Red Sea.
AP quoted American military expert Bradley Martin, who stated that the US Navy “asked more of its forces than they could sustain, and discovered the cost later,” an explicit acknowledgment that Washington pushed its naval forces into a confrontation beyond their operational capacity—against a Yemeni military that has proven high combat proficiency and unwavering resolve.
