The HSV-2 Swift, a trimaran supply ship built by Australia was hit by an apparent antiship missile fired from Yemen, and eventually sank. Swift had been hired by the US Navy for years to test the trimaran hull and high speed design for future US ships. She was returned to Australia several years ago and had been hired by the UAE Navy. She was approaching the coast of Yemen, when Houthi forces fired an apparent C802 missile at it. The missile struck the ship and set it on fire.
