After a combat deployment that lasted five months, the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Spruance returned to its home port of San Diego yesterday with notes on downed Houthi air targets. All this time, the ship served in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea.

The return of the destroyer is reported on his social media.

In total, after the campaign, 13 new marks appeared on the ship about the destroyed enemy targets. Among them are three ballistic and cruise anti–ship missiles, as well as seven kamikaze drones fired at it by representatives of the paramilitary Yemeni Ansar Allah movement.

The images on the destroyer do not give an idea of what hit the listed targets. It can be assumed that the crew used a low-power AN/SEQ-4 ODIN laser installation. This technique is capable of blinding infrared and optical guidance systems, as well as surveillance cameras, which are used, among other things, on drones.

The destroyer's crew probably destroyed some of the marked air targets on November 12 last year. On that day, the Houthis reported an attack on the American aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln and two destroyers, one of which was the USS Spruance. According to a representative of the Ansar Allah movement, drones and cruise missiles were used against US ships.

The US military confirmed the attacks on the destroyers, but said they had not heard anything about the strikes on the aircraft carrier.
