Carriers are vulnerable to anti-ship missiles. Hypersonic missiles pose a serious threat and the Houthis are in possession of such missiles. It'd require a major military effort to neutralize the Houthi threat.

In all I've read on the Houthis I didn't see that the carrier group pulled out because of hypersonic missiles. It seemed more like the game of whack-a-mole was too costly. Can I read more somewhere?

Traffic dropped by around 60%. Bringing that number up to 100% would not go unnoticed and would cause more than just a minor annoyance for quite a few nations.

OK but what point does this address?
