The USS Carney destroyer has been awarded a combat award for its role in defending merchant ships in the Red Sea, where it shot down 14 Houthi drones on December 16. Vice Adm. Brad Cooper presented awards to several sailors, including the ship’s commander, Cmdr. Jeremy Robertson. This recognition, highlighting the crew’s repeated engagements with drones and missiles in the region, raises questions about the targeting of U.S. forces. The awards, including a Combat Action Ribbon and two Navy Commendation Medals, come amid increasing tensions and frequent Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.
