Flying over 30,000 hours and sailing over 55,000 miles the IKE CSG demonstrated our commitment to regional stability and protected freedom of navigation throughout the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
The IKE CSG also upheld their commitment to safety of all seafarers, rescuing mariners in distress on several occasions following unprovoked attacks on innocent mariners by Iranian-backed Houthis.
Last week, the ship Tutor, a Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned-and-operated vessel, was sunk by a Houthi strike, killing one mariner on board.
The latest strike occurred Saturday, when an unidentified commercial ship in the Gulf of Aden was targeted. The vessel was not hit and the crew was reported safe.
