In a significant shift in naval combat strategy, US Navy destroyers successfully thwarted Houthi drone attacks in the Red Sea without using traditional weapons. Instead, they employed 'non-kinetic' capabilities, which involve methods that do not rely on physical destruction. Instances involving the USS Mason and USS Gravely showcased this modern approach, which promises to change naval warfare tactics. The engagements prevented potential damage to both Navy and commercial vessels. The Navy plans to train future personnel on the effective use of these non-kinetic systems, highlighting a new era in military engagement.
