US Warship Sails Around Africa to Avoid Houthi Attacks in Red Sea: Report | Firstpost Africa | N18G

In a significant tactical shift, the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) and its strike group have been reportedly spotted off the coast of Namibia, opting for the lengthy Cape of Good Hope route to reach the Arabian Sea. This move marks a departure from the traditional passage through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal. The decision comes as the US maintains a strict naval blockade on Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, an escalation following the outbreak of the Iran war. By avoiding the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, the US Navy is reportedly shielding its assets from Iran-backed Houthis, who have declared the Red Sea a 'no-go zone' for American vessels. While this detour adds approximately 6,500 km and 12 days of travel, incurring millions in extra fuel costs, it underscores the extreme volatility of West Asian waters. As the conflict transforms African ports like Walvis Bay into critical global gas stations, the world watches how this maritime shift redefines global security.
