Attacks off the coast of Yemen

Some clown updated the status of the ship as "Sank". This is not true as far as I have read. She did fire countermeasure missiles after detecting what was believed to be incoming missiles, but she is still afloat. Can somebody fix this?

Yes, the change to the status of Mason appears to have been a case of vandalism. I've corrected the article. —RP88 ^(talk) 01:32, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Attacks off the coast of Yemen"- Ok I am being bold- changed section name and added to it. See related section in article. it has 4 paragraphs with 11 references - many different sources to the references. Lists being attached on 3 separate days, and firing AAW missile in defense all 3 dates. Sorry - I think there is only 1 or two attack days, and probably only SAM fired in Defense on 1 day. - Ok reading reference 21 from Navy times - does seem to support firings 2 dates. Article states fired Cruise missile later at three radar sites in Houthi-held territory. That can be changed to specify BGM-109 Tomahawk. Pretty significant period in October 2016 - probably worth its own article Wfoj3 (talk) 14:09, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Combat in lede

In her near quarter century, she has been involved in combat only a couple of times; that is significant, and both should be reflected in the lede per wp:lede. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:916B:2E14:5815:CDAD (talk) 21:47, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
