"By some accounts, an ASBM [anti-ship ballistic missile] or other missile arrived at a very shallow trajectory, with minimal warning, without a chance for interception, and splashing down around 200 meters [656 feet] from" the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.

200 meter miss is actually wild. No wonder the U.S. left the Red Sea in a hurry with its tail between its legs

Didn't a carrier accidentally "hit ground"?

So - a single missile of a type available to rebel groups can't be intercepted by a US aircraft carrier.
That sounds...not good.
