Original Note:
NNN. Yemeni actions have followed a consistent non-lethal MO: capture and redirect any Israel-bound ships. To do so, ships have to remain seaworthy. In prior attacks, ships sustained only minor damage. Also, container ship hulls are 14-19mm thick and compartmentalised. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/18/oil-tanker-m-v-swan-atlantic-hit-by-houthi-projectile-in-the-red https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/31/missile-hits-red-sea-container-ship-us-destroyers-shoot-down-two-more https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/20/yemen-houthi-rebels-seize-cargo-ship-galaxy-leader-red-sea-israel https://www.thefabricator.com/thefabricator/article/shopmanagement/a-parting-of-the-inclined-ways
