Attacks off the coast of Yemen Edit

On 3 October 2016, Mason was deployed off the coast of war-torn Yemen (along with USS Nitze, USS Roosevelt, and USS Ponce) following an attack on the United Arab Emirates operated HSV-2 Swift.[9] According to an unnamed US Department of Defense official, the purpose for sending the ships was "to ensure that shipping continues unimpeded in the strait and the vicinity."[10]

馬森號在2016年10月3日在阿聯(lián)酋海域活動，此時正好是阿聯(lián)酋海軍的快速運輸船遭到導(dǎo)彈襲擊之后沒幾天的日子。

On 9 October 2016, Mason, operating near the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, was targeted by two missiles fired from Houthi-controlled territory. Both missiles fell short and crashed into the water.[11][12] The Houthi insurgency denied launching the attack on the warship.[13] The United States Naval Institute reported that Mason fired two SM-2 Standard missiles and one RIM-162 ESSM missile to intercept the two missiles as well as deploying its Nulka missile decoy. One of two U.S. defense officials cited anonymously added that it was not clear whether the incoming missiles had been shot down or crashed into the water on their own.[14] This marked the first recorded instance of ship-based anti-air missiles being fired from vertical launching cells in combat in response to an actual inbound missile threat (during the Persian Gulf War's Battle of Bubiyan, a British warship intercepted an Iraqi Silkworm missile though that ship was not equipped with VLS).[15]

2016年10月9日，馬森號驅(qū)逐艦在曼德海峽航行的時候，遭用了胡賽控制區(qū)發(fā)射兩枚導(dǎo)彈襲擊，有人懷疑是伊朗制造的noor導(dǎo)彈，仿制于中國的c802導(dǎo)彈。胡塞武裝否認(rèn)此次襲擊。根據(jù)報道兩枚導(dǎo)彈射到美國驅(qū)逐艦的時候，有可能由于設(shè)定失誤自行墜海，但是美軍仍然發(fā)射了干擾彈，并且發(fā)射了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)二式導(dǎo)彈和essm導(dǎo)彈進行攔截。本次攔截也使得該次戰(zhàn)斗成為了世界上第1次試圖使用垂直發(fā)射導(dǎo)彈，在海上攔截反艦導(dǎo)彈。上一次實戰(zhàn)中成功攔截反艦導(dǎo)彈，還要追溯到兩伊戰(zhàn)爭時期，英國驅(qū)逐艦使用海標(biāo)槍導(dǎo)彈攔截蠶式導(dǎo)彈（C601）。

On 12 October 2016 Mason was again targeted by missiles fired from Yemeni territory while operating in the Bab el-Mandeb strait.[16] Mason was not hit by the two missiles, which were fired from near the city of Al Hudaydah.[16] While the Navy is not certain whether the first incoming missile was intercepted or it just fell into the sea, officials claim Mason successfully intercepted the second missile at a distance of about 8 miles (13 km).[17] On 13 October 2016, the US attacked three radar sites in Houthi-held territory which had been involved in the earlier missile attacks with cruise missiles launched from USS Nitze.[18] The Pentagon assessed that all three sites were destroyed.[19]

10月12日馬森號驅(qū)逐艦在同一海區(qū)再次遭遇到兩枚反艦導(dǎo)彈的襲擊。這兩枚導(dǎo)彈中都沒有打中目標(biāo)，其中一枚有可能是因為設(shè)定失誤或者遭遇干擾彈而墜海，而另一枚導(dǎo)彈被馬森號驅(qū)逐艦成功在8海里處（正好是ESSM有效射程）擊毀。為了報復(fù)此事件，美國人用驅(qū)逐艦上的戰(zhàn)斧式導(dǎo)彈襲擊了胡賽控制區(qū)內(nèi)的幾個雷達站。

On 15 October 2016, Mason was targeted in a third attack by five anti-ship cruise missiles while operating in the Red Sea north of the Bab el-Mandeb strait. The Navy Times reported the Mason fired a radar decoy, an infrared decoy, and several SM-2 Standard missiles in response, either neutralizing or intercepting four of the five incoming missiles. The Navy claims the fifth incoming missile was neutralized by a radar decoy launched from USS Nitze, after Mason alerted her to the threat.

2016年10月15日，馬森號驅(qū)逐艦再次遭遇到5枚反艦導(dǎo)彈的襲擊。這次馬刺號驅(qū)逐艦使用的包括干擾彈，防空導(dǎo)彈在內(nèi)的防防御武器進行攔截，其中有4枚被成功的干擾或者摧毀。最后一枚導(dǎo)彈是被旁邊的一艘驅(qū)逐艦?zāi)釢商靥柺褂酶蓴_彈干擾了。

由此可見，就算是最先進的宙斯盾驅(qū)逐艦，在面對80年代技術(shù)的亞音速反艦導(dǎo)彈的時候，仍然不能疏忽大意，而且考慮到反應(yīng)導(dǎo)彈的體型較小，末端能夠機動，用防空導(dǎo)彈進行攔截還是有一定的風(fēng)險，最安全的還是使用軟殺傷性武器，比如干擾彈，有源干擾機進行干擾。

這件事也反映出來，為何很長一段時間里，美國海軍還在使用魚叉反艦導(dǎo)彈，而并不像蘇聯(lián)一樣開發(fā)出更加巨大的超音速反艦導(dǎo)彈。中小型的反艦導(dǎo)彈是（低于1噸）雖然速度不一定超過音速，但是由于它體積小，雷達反射截面小，能夠在末端進行s型機動，所以在面對防空導(dǎo)彈攔截的時候，它被擊中的概率更小一些。相反之下，俄羅斯那種較大的反艦導(dǎo)彈，如足有10米長，翼展足有1.6米的花崗巖導(dǎo)彈，由于飛行高度比較大，速度很快，而且在平飛過程中只能直線飛行，所以被雷達探測到距離也遠(yuǎn)，遭遇攔截的可能性也比較大。比較典型的例子就是中國在最近幾年中的訓(xùn)練中，成功攔截過很多以現(xiàn)代級驅(qū)逐艦上裝備的日熾導(dǎo)彈制造的靶彈。
