by



To safeguard maritime vessels navigating the Red Sea, the US Navy utilized aircraft not only from their impressive fleet of aircraft carriers but also deployed versatile amphibious ships. A prime example of this is the AV-8B Harrier II, an aircraft renowned for its vertical takeoff and landing capabilities.During this operation, one pilot from the US Marine Corps Aviation Squadron 231, Captain Earl Earhart, boasts a remarkable record. He was stationed aboard the multipurpose amphibious assault ship USS Bataan. According to Earhart, during the period of the US Navy’s presence in the region, he successfully eliminated no fewer than seven kamikaze drones belonging to the Yemeni Houthis.
