   Tuesday, ships and aircraft under the control of US Central Command fought off the largest attack on Red Sea shipping since the Israel-Hamas war started. F/A-18s from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower teamed up with the Arleigh-Burke class destroyers USS Gravely, USS Laboon, USS Mason, and the United Kingdom’s HMS Diamond to shoot down 18 suicide drones, two anti-ship cruise missiles, and one anti-ship ballistic missile.

     US has merchant ships? I thought every merchant ship in the world flew the Greek flag for some weird tax reason.
     
     But I see war with Iran is coming along well.

     Never mind, Panama is the biggest one.
     
     It has nothing to do with what country owns the ships, it's just cheaper to register them in certain countries so those countries technically have MASSIVE merchant marine fleets compared to their actual economy.
