US aircraft carrier counters false Houthi claims with 'Taco Tuesdays' as deployment stretches on

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.

“I think it’s been about two or three times in the past six months we’ve allegedly been sunk, which we have not been,” Hill told The Associated Press during a recent visit to the carrier. “It is almost comical at this point. They’re attempting to maybe inspire themselves through misinformation, but it doesn’t work on us.”

    That doesn’t prove anything about the Eisenhower being sunk or not. Submarines are underwater, and they can do Taco Tuesday too:

    Taco Tuesday: Exactly what it sounds like. We had a CS (Culinary Specialist) that made some of the best Fajitas I have ever had in my life (and I was raised in West Texas by a hispanic family). All the fixings are provided as well.
