We here at Navy Times are looking to speak with sailors who have served aboard ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Oman in the past year, those vessels that have played a key role in the ongoing fight against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Those deployments represent the most sustained combat that any sailor has faced since World War II. And we want to tell your story.
What is your day-to-day life like over there? How different was it from your past cruises? Were you exhilarated by it all? Terrified? A bit of both?
If you’d like to share your thoughts, email geoffz@militarytimes.com. Anonymity can be granted upon request.
Thanks for your help, and for your service.
