I Harijeri sa USS Batan ucestvuju u obaranju dronova.
Citat:"The Houthis were launching a lot of suicide attack drones," says Ehrhart. "They are a robust and capable force," he adds, warning they are not to be underestimated.
To be effective against this rebel group, the marines needed to adapt.
"We took a Harrier jet and modified it for air defence," Ehrhart tells me. "We loaded it up with missiles and that way were able to respond to their drone attacks."
An experienced fighter pilot, Ehrhart says he has shot down seven Houthi drones. But when flying so close to these explosive devices, he says, every interception carries great risk.
"They are shooting at us all the time, so we need to be even more focused. Our systems need to be primed so we can stay safe."
The control room
A short helicopter ride away from the USS Baatan sits the Arleigh Burke, a second US warship sitting on high alert.
Below deck, aglow with the light of a dozen computer monitors, is the Combat Information Centre.
"Here is where we fight from," says Lieutenant Commander Tyrchra Bowman. "This is the heart of our ship."
Equipped with an elite radar system, the crew of the Arleigh Burke are the eyes and ears for all the US warships in the area. They send out alerts for any perceived threat from the land or sea.
Some of those alerts go to Captain Ehrhart aboard the USS Bataan, and indicate just how long he has to react to an incoming Houthi drone.
"It's essentially math. The command room will say: 'The Houthis have launched a one-way attack drone. We have this amount of time.' Then we can step down from a two-hour response time, all the way down to a five minute response."
