Assessing claims that Houthi weapons hit US warships

Did Houthi weapons successfully hit American warships despite official silence?

The cited reports are unconvincing because a real hit would be exceptionally hard to conceal across the crew and their wider social networks, although such weapons could still score a hit.

The reports cited in the comments are unconvincing as evidence of successful strikes on American warships. A genuine hit would leave damage and possibly casualties, while crew members could pass information to their wider contacts. Maintaining secrecy across everyone involved would be difficult in the age of social media. Newspapers can also repeat exaggerated or misunderstood information without deliberately inventing a story. These doubts about the reported incidents leave open the possibility that such missiles could hit a warship.
