Latest sat photos show her anchored off the coast of Eritrea. Apparently towing her across the Red Sea to the Saudi coast was deemed too risky.
Salvage operation continues.

Endless money for the Ukraine and israel, but no money to repair American infrastructure or help those in need at home. This is deliberate and has been going on for decades.

Whoever was shooting at the unmanned boat was a terrible shot! You could see the shots going over, under, and to the side! The ship is a reasonably stable platform, and the boat wasn't moving that fast. It should have been easy at that range to shoot in such a way to put a hole through the bottom of the boat, or just to hit the explosives and detonate them before they got closer.
