Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen responsible for putting U.S. sailors under fire at levels comparable to World War II battles aren’t getting much rest these days.
I think it speaks more to how imposing the US Navy is, that this is the highest level of fire they’ve seen since WW2. I don’t think they’re trying to say that the levels are comparable.
I agree with what you’re saying, but that’s what they wrote. They could have phrased it in a less “thousands will die at sea” way.
Maybe something like “highest number of attacks against US ships since WW2,” but even that’s not saying too much, as there really haven’t been that many attacks on the Navy compared to what ground pounders have seen.

“highest number of attacks” and “highest volume of fire” mean the same thing
