Exact quotes were reported verbatim by AP news and Navy Times, seeing you prefer CIA controlled news sources.
US Navy fighter pilots have described as “traumatizing” their encounters with Yemen’s Armed Forces launching daring strikes on Israeli-owned and -bound shipping in the Red Sea in retaliation for the occupying regime’s months-long genocide against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The fighter pilots came home in Virginia on Friday after nine months of maritime clashes with the Yemeni military and their missile and drone strikes, in what CBS News referred to as “the most intense running sea battle the Navy has faced since World War II.”
Hey, the verbage and wording is very non-native and shows that this is an article authored by someone who wants others to think this is tough. And the url shows an Iranian country code. Hard to believe the most intense running sea battle since WW2 would be in a desert with folks using man pads and guerrilla tactics.
Good effort on trying to represent your country’s perspective but it’s not holding up to scrutiny.
I’m not Iranian, I am Arab-American and here’s an article from AP
US Navy faces its most intense combat since World War II against Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels
And here’s a Time article
The U.S. Navy Is Sinking in Middle East Sand
And here’s an article from Navy Time

Oh and this AP story via MSN has the quotes in the .ir source:
“It was incredibly different,” Orloff said. “And I’ll be honest, it was a little traumatizing for the group. It’s something that we don’t think about a lot until you’re presented with it.”
So you: 1. attacked the messenger without even caring to refute it with a source 2. assumed where I was from wrongly, and 3. assumed the article is false simply due to the top level domain. This tacit racism is not something I should waste time on. I shouldn’t have to back an already factual story with western sources to appease you.
pffft navy times sounds like one of them eye-rab sources, them thangs no good round here boy

You came over here bro. Pathetic behaviour.
Article won’t link … non-secure link or something.
Want to read it. This title is confusing.
Here’s an archived copy: https://archive.ph/GwNAQ
This quote for me captures the essence of the article:
The CBS News also cited Caitlyn Jeronimus, whose husband is a Navy lieutenant commander and pilot, as saying that she initially thought it could be a “fun deployment,” and would be relatively easy but Eisenhower’s plans changed due to Yemen’s escalating strikes and “it was stressful.”
Oh are they claiming to have sunk things again? Lol 😂
