Houthi forces have used explosives-laden unmanned systems in the air and on the water as well as anti-ship ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to the confined geography of the Red Sea and the speed of anti-ship munitions, there may only be a 60- to 90-second window between Houthi launch and a destroyer\u2019s response in self-defense, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/newsletters\/2024\/02\/14\/us-navy-updating-tactics-for-sensors-weapons-based-on-houthi-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\">Navy Times reported<\/a>, citing a service leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The barrages in the Red Sea have impeded trade in otherwise economically vital waters. Ships are rerouting to avoid the region, resulting in many more nautical miles traversed, additional days spent traveling and extra fuel burned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Houthis
