Summary
On September 11, the leader of a U.S. aircraft carrier stated that efforts to target vessels in the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz were unsuccessful, a statement provided prior to the reported October strikes on two ships flagged in Singapore. Capt. Nicholas DeLeo, who commands the USS George Washington, attributed this result to the work of the carrier's crew. His remarks were restricted to that specific timeframe and did not address subsequent events affecting merchant vessels. DeLeo noted that the personnel prepared for drone and missile dangers, employing both defensive and offensive tactics to safeguard Navy craft. On October 14, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) reported that two Singaporean container ships were hit by unidentified projectiles during transit through Hormuz. The GFS PRIDE suffered damage, ignited, and eventually went under, though all 21 crew members were rescued with no injuries noted. The GFS GISELLE arrived at a secure anchorage with a damaged hull, and its 22 crew members remained unharmed. The MPA did not specify the origin of the projectiles.
