US 6th Fleet: USS Cole, USS Bulkeley Engaged In Multiple Iranian Ballistic Missiles In Defense Of Israel On October 1st, 2024
Both destroyers have the aegis weapons system designed for ballistic missile defense and were stationed in the Eastern Mediterranean by the United States in advance of the Iranian launch.
U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet: "The U.S. Sixth Fleet guided missile destroyers USS Cole (DDG 67) and USS Bulkeley (DDG 84) engaged multiple Iranian ballistic missiles in defense of Israel from the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, October 1, 2024”.
“Both destroyers have the aegis weapons system designed for ballistic missile defense and were stationed in the Eastern Mediterranean by the United States in advance of the Iranian launch as a part of U.S. Naval Forces Europe/Africa. Multiple missiles are believed to have been successfully engaged at this time."
So, you fire a dozen interceptors against approximately 200 inbound missiles, you don't know if you hit any of these missiles with the interceptors, but Biden says the attack was "defeated and ineffective".
