U.S. sends Navy destroyer to patrol off Yemen amid Iran tensions: officials
The United States has sent a Navy destroyer to patrol off the coast of Yemen to protect waterways from Houthi militia aligned with Iran, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Friday, amid heightened tension between Washington and Tehran.
The USS Cole arrived in the vicinity of the Bab al-Mandab Strait off southwestern Yemen where it will carry out patrols, including escorting vessels, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

...the Cole has been attacked once and 17 sailors were killed and the ship severely damaged. Ships have a memory and I don't believe the sailors on that ship now will hesitate to sink anything that attempts to harm them. They might even get a little PAYBACK
