USS Mason Took a Direct Strike - The Response Came Faster Than Anyone Expected
Embed
- Published on Mar 6, 2026
- On February 16, 2026 - the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks - Iran struck the USS Mason with a Khalij Fars anti-ship ballistic missile. It was a direct hit.
Nine American sailors died. Thirty-one were wounded. The ship's forward superstructure was destroyed.
But the Mason wasn't finished.
Fifty-two minutes after taking the hit, the damaged destroyer launched Tomahawk missiles at the Iranian battery that had attacked her. She was burning, listing, and treating mass casualties - and she was still fighting.
This video provides the complete tactical analysis: how the Iranian maneuvering warhead defeated American missile defenses, Captain Chen's controversial decision to counterattack while her ship was still in crisis, and the coordinated strike that destroyed four Iranian military installations.
This is what it means to fight back.

These liars need to be prosecuted for mis information.
Foreign bots
Click "more" and read what pops up.
The poster of this vid CLEARLY states that the movies is fiction.
Truth is the bedrock of a just society, and when it is intentionally obscured, the consequences ripple far beyond the words themselves.
I think if all of these reports of Iran striking us ships were true we would be making Iran look like the surface of the moon.
Yes, surface of the Moon!
Anybody that touches the boats gets eliminated immediately no talk no discussions ask Japan
Appropriate action must be the response
Just try that
LOL!!!! The Idiot America carrier group was shook to by one reccon drone and whatever comes from idiot America's gross subservience to AIPAC and Israel must come under the heading of Karmic justice! 😂.
America must be forced to stop destabilising and threatening the stability and security of the world for the sick avaricous dark dangerous twisted agendas of the few dragging allied countries into questionable immoral costly conflicts ordered by and for the benefit of America's masters Israel!
The world must rally behind a new MAGA,
Make America Go Away!!!!
Donald Krasnov Trump should be rightly rotting in prison not free to threaten and weaken the NATO Western alliance and the stability and security of the world!!!!
America must be universally condemned,
heavily sanctioned and robustly boycotted with nothing being taken off the table to achieve this!!!!
Those making this sort BS should be closed down.
Where are the images of the ships damage?
In an era where information travels faster than truth, the absence of visual evidence often speaks louder than the loudest headlines.
More AI dribble
Is RUclips that desperate for stories? I agree with your assessment; drivel
The true danger is not that machines begin to think like men, but that men begin to think like machines, prioritizing efficiency over the messy depth of human truth.
This is not factual. It would be all hell breaking out on Iran 🇮🇷
It's true you idiot!!! Quit listening to MSM, and stop drinking their fool aid!!
This is a Lie, the USS Mason did not get attacked by a missile
Gemini đã nói
In a world where perception is often weaponized, the hardest truth to find is the one hidden behind the fog of a narrative.
Everything this podcast writes is 100% bullshit
Yep
"Iranian anti-ship battery was 'reloading' when struck" - unlikely. Missile batteries fire and scoot.
What dribble
Isn't that drivel???
@JoeScheideler-mx4xz You took the words right out of my mouth.
The hell with the United Nations it's time to end that country military installations all of it completely
If social media is just going to spurt out drivel then no one will use it .
They say this AI is really going to be something someday😒
So now with these videos you get a News update while watching varies military video some that have nothing to do with the News.
There are no letters in military time !!!
Why is you tube allowing this? Report it!
B.S.
Glad we have viewers that know when to point out outright lies. Going to be more and more miss information every year and we have to be vigilant
September 11 2026 is 7 months away.
good job military us! i love it
Very encouraging! God bless all the Mason crew!
just did a check two missiles were fired at uss mason on 9 oct 2016 from houthi controlled territory both missiles fell short and landed in the water
Come on man....😵💫
WTF. 911 2026 we're making predictions now?
Sarah Chen is it captain in a lot of the HFY video stories
Yeah, I saw her on another ship a few days ago fighting off ten Iran fast attack ships. That girl gets around!!!
Nice going now.Everybody knows the weakness.
They are preparing us for a coming war. Probably this is fake news or it would be all over the news already
If these reports are fake stop those people that are lying 🤥 😅
This stuff is intentionally made to keep everyone focused on warfare. It's instigating for focusing for the minds of people to on damning someone else, thus requiring military action, and your support. They want eternal war because they profit from warfare.
BTW, it's all false.
Not Probably Fake News!!! 100% Fake!!
No way
They would be a crater
This is PHUCKERY by this poster:
As of February 2026, the USS Mason (DDG 87) is currently in the Atlantic Ocean, not the Gulf.
The ship is participating in a Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX) with Carrier Strike Group 10 to prepare for an upcoming deployment. Notably, on February 13, 2026, the Navy relieved its commander, Capt. Chavius G. Lewis, of duty due to a "loss of confidence." Capt. Kevin Hoffman has taken over as the new commanding officer.
The ship's last major Gulf/Red Sea operation concluded in July 2024, during which it:
Intercepted Houthi missiles and drones.
Rescued the crew of the M/V Central Park from pirates in the Gulf of Aden.
Escorted 26 merchant vessels through the Bab Al-Mandeb Strait.
No mainstream coverage? I have doubts
It says at the very end it is fictional. That is some irresponsible. They’d people should taken down permanently.
We should have done much more and totally put them out of business.
Transcript says February 2026.....then attack September 2026..
Damm this video is ALL over a time line. 8 months to repair in 2 days?!?
America must think carefully about this war, believe me Iran will not negotiate, Iran is waiting for this war to use Chinese weapons to test and North Korea also they want to try their weapons to test because behind Iran has 3 strong technologies, they want to test their weapons in this war to test, the weapon they have this is the right time for them to test. their weapons how strong
A lot of nations use conflicts to test and show capabilities, that’s true. At the same time, naval forces on all sides are always preparing and adapting. Hopefully things stay at the level of deterrence, not escalation 🤝⚓️
Honestly it dosent matter. The decisions have been made already their fate was sealed when they developed enriched uranium over 3% and declined inspections or to be a peer level player. We "the world" do not need another North Korea. A non announced launch at any U.S. or NATO asset or area could spark and trigger nuclear Armageddon in less than an hour korea and iran would be glassed so bad they will glow from space for 25k years. This is not acceptable behavior. Now the facts yes they have many missiles but fact the last time an American vessel was actually hit in a fuck you war scenario was by Israel and im still confused why we didn't end them at that point. Greed i assume. While they have many missiles most are not capable of actual combat accuracy ballistic missile barrage in mass to hopefully hit something we've seen this before. We are all being hearded into ww3 and for greed over a fake death and a bunch of assholes based on lies. Now we are going to extremely fuck iran up. I've begged in open chat lobbies for people to get into safe places if they wanted to live but now im not sure where that would be. I think they're all cooked.
We have secrets too :)
This supposedly happened on Sept 11 2026? 🤬 WTF?! And it’s only FEB 2026!
Site your references……
The Hooties have nothing coming now from Iran
Sept11, 2026 WTF??!!!
As I watch this video, I think of the " DRESDEN FLAG " and why it exists. "Don't tread on me," my head can still kill you!
Ok everyone if you go to the video details it says this is a
"FICTIONAL SCENARIO"
Why is IRAN not a parking lot after this?
What is the point of all this????
Can you imagine all the idiots that watch this. I'm only here for the comments. 😂
Yeah. I watched 30 seconds of this complete Bull Shite! More than enough.
Are you sure ?
Read the description it says it's fictional.
Act of war, this will end the Iranian regime.
September 11th 2026 is not here yet.
Well, it happened anyway. You were just sleeping and forgot what year it is, or was, or something like that…don’t ya know??
Revenge is sweet!
This video presents a fictional scenario
Confirmed; AI crappi-doo.
*”This video presents a fictional scenario inspired by real-world events”*
This video is presenting a fictional story as though it is actually occurring.
They ought to present it as War Monger Channel. Screwing people's minds is very underhanded & dishonest.
I need to read that next time.
Sept 2026 ? That’s 7 months from now . This video in writing said the mason was hit 21 hours ago.. why the wrong wrong information put out on a video
5:17 ". . . the structure that houses the bridge . . ." showed two bridges spanning water. AI missed the boat. Literally.
THUMBS DOWN EVERYONE! Idiots at play here!
MASON is in North Atlantic February 26
as i watch this i think your forces got problems
I doubt that....
How can this video be 1 day ago from what I understand there are about 244 days in 8 months which took 8 months for the ship to be repaired. time frame 16:56 said it took 8 months for repairs the facts don't match up.
Karma always gets her way
BS !!!!!!!
I’m confused, because there is conflicting information here about timelines.!!!
Can’t we just tell the truth??!!
This was 8 months old Click Bait.
What's going on now!!??
WTF?! Was CIWS OFF??!!! This is Bovine Excrement. Surely we can handle such a threat!!??? Is this AI BOVINE EXCREMENT?!
I know it's not clear, but in the fine print it says this is fictional. For "education and entertainment" purposes. 🙄

RUclips needs to take responsibility to label these fictional videos as such "FICTION - NOT TRUE"
GOOGLE does not support this event on the USS Mason. Capt. Lewis was relieved from command on the 13th of February per the article for loss of confidence.
I was wondering when this happened? I can’t imagine after an attack like this that we would just hit the launch site. I would think we would have hit the central part of Iran and continue to hit them with everything we have. If this is true it’s an act of war and I can’t see it any other way.
11. The vessel was targeted by missiles from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen on October 9 and October 12, 2016, but in both incidents, the missiles fell into the water before hitting the ship, resulting in no damage or injuries
Wow...Iran is really reaching with this shit.......
Turn them into glass
In my opinion is they're all lies. I can watch Netflix or videos on RUclips if I want fiction videos.
This kind of broadcast with false information is shameful and should be blocked.
No need to buy ticket it’s happening under your nose.
Iran may have struck first, but who instigated the conflict?
Wrong Captains. No reports.
Says right in the description its fictional y'all
I missed it .
The pictures used as filler were horribly unrelated. Won’t be using this any more.
This is B.S. if this had actually happened... Iran would no longer be a country!!!!
There is no way this is true. We would crater the region. Plus its impossible we wouldn't counter
This video is a BIG LIE, by their own admission "This video presents a fictional scenario" in their own description.
Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!
Don't we have a fighter jets that are equipt with missels that are capable of shooting down a ballistic hypersonic rocket? If not WTF!?
September 11, 2026 is in the future. What kind of bullenschiezer is this! Shut down this site!
I hate fiction presented as news. It's stupidity for stupid people.
Lie. This is educational video for sailors. Not an event that actually happened
Dude get your dates right. At First you said it was january and now you're saying it's september 2026 which hasn't happened yet.
FAKE. So, what's the point, the purpose, the value provided here?
If this happened, iran would finally get the nuclear weapons they've been seeking.And they wouldn't like it
For fakes sake
If everyone reported these BS stories, YT would be forced to stop them.
Iran would cease to be a country if this really happens. Russia and China would just watch in awe and be happy it's not them
Go on Iran
What country are you in now Hasan ?
@tommurphree5630 my country
sounds like a full AI story. 16:55 it says mason took 8 months to repair... so either the date was wrong at the start or this is false to make iran seem stupid while trying to fight their own revolution.
Did This happen??? If it did, ICE 'EM If not, ICE YOU!!!
Fake news!!! Didn’t happen!!! Quit pushing lies!!!
BULLSHIT !!!! Fake !!!!! 🤬🤬🤬
This didnt happen..
Fictitious narrative ..not worth watching
Total Horseshit!
A I strikes again.
Launched Sea Harriers ?
BS video we have no Harriers in service
