>ABOARD THE USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER IN THE RED SEA (AP) — The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower may be one of the oldest aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy, but it’s still fighting — despite repeated false claims by [Yemen’s Houthi rebels](https://apnews.com/hub/houthis).
>The Houthis and social media accounts supporting them repeatedly have falsely claimed they hit or even sank the carrier in the Red Sea. The carrier leads the U.S. response to the [rebels’ targeting of commercial vessels and warships](https://apnews.com/article/yemen-houthi-israel-hamas-red-sea-shipping-ab6fee82e73170b7e2edbab90ed6c14c) in the crucial waterway — attacks the Houthis say are aimed at bringing an end to the [Israel-Hamas war](https://apnews.com/hub/israel-hamas-war) in the Gaza Strip.
>The Eisenhower’s leader, Capt. Christopher “Chowdah” Hill, is creatively striking back on social media to counter the misinformation — and boost the morale of the ship’s 5,000 personnel — as the Navy [faces its most intense combat since World War II](https://apnews.com/article/us-navy-yemen-houthis-israel-war-7a9997f9d84ac669fae69ecf819913fb)…
I’m speculating when Capt. Hill was attending the Naval Academy and Naval War College, they didn’t offer courses about countering misinformation in social media during combat operations. I think they do now.
