In this episode, Sal Mercogliano - maritime historian at Campbell University (@campbelledu) and former merchant mariner - discussed the attack on the Marshall Island-flagged 110,000-ton tanker Marlin Luanda by the Houthi. The ship was struck by a missile, and its cargo of naphtha was ignited. The crew, alongside support from several warships, in particular the Indian destroyer INS Visakhapatnam, were able to extinguish the fire and begin the salvage of the vessel.
