The Wall Street Journal published on 28 April 2025 an article titled "U.S. Jet Fighter Is Lost Overboard in Latest Mishap Involving Aircraft Carrier" by Nancy A. Youssef.
An F/A-18E aircraft, valued at $70 million, under tow in the hanger bay fell off the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier in the Red Sea. The ship is one of two aircraft carriers in the region conducting airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen.
Foreign Policy published on 22 April 2025 titled "Trump's War on the Houthis Is Going Nowhere" by Keith Johnson.
The Trump administration has spent more than $1 billion in airstrikes on the Houthis, who remain as defiant as ever. The Houthis charge that the administration has waded into a "quagmire." There has been little transparency from the US side concerning the airstrikes, which are burning through precision munitions at a rapid rate.
