The UAE government has detailed the crew size and makeup for the ship at the time of the attack. 24 civilians of six nationalities manned the vessel. These included ten Indians, seven Ukranians, four Egyptians, one Jordanian, one Filipino, and one Lithuanian. No official manifest of passengers onboard, or details as to exactly how many were injured, killed, rescued or lost, has been made publically available."

Nothing of the bow area damage is bent outward from explosive force. Which suggests it is mainly fire damage (she's made of aluminium, not steel).
My area of interest would be amidship port side

So the Houthi terrorists basically wrote a death sentence to 1000's of their compatriots and relatives. Now their strongholds will resemble Armageddon even more. Enjoy the roasting. The forecast will showcase rain. Heavy rain.
That can happen when you attack defenseless ships whose only cargo is humanitarian aid. Enjoy hunger and famine for some more weeks in your terrorist strongholds.
Retaliation has already occurred and 100's of terrorists were roasted to death. More to follow.
I believe that we should follow the great hero and martyr Ali Hassan Abd-al-Majid al-Tikriti's brilliant example and use chemical weapons on terrorist strongholds.
More of this as well:
Give us chemical engineers the right projects and chemical weapons can be mass-produced quite easily. What better than testing such weapons on terrorist strongholds and enemies in general?
You are okay with Yemeni ships imposing embargo on your country and once you target them you get called terrorist? you expect Yemenis to not do anything against foreign warships and vessels in Yemeni waters?
OMG ... No you are supporting and Siding the one who killed and injured 100k Iranian civilians by chemical weapons?
A small internationally recognized terrorist group such as the Houthis and a few Yemenis loyal to Ali Abdullah Saleh (dictator who ruled Yemen for almost 40 years) do not equal Yemenis. That is why they only control 15% of the Yemeni territory and why no government, expect the Iranian Mullah's, have recognized their rule.
This ship was a humanitarian vessel that was transporting aid to Yemen. There were hardly any Arabs from the Arab coalition present.
Of course I supported Iraq, a fellow brotherly and neighboring Arab country, over a foreign and hostile entity. How is that a question? As far as the martyr Ali Hassan Abd-al-Majid al-Tikriti goes, he showed us all how to deal with terrorists, traitors and enemies.
