Though no U.S. Navy warship has taken damage from the attacks – although there have been claims to the contrary

lol, they got hit.

There was that ship that had to withdraw for repairs for unknown reasons but they claimed it totally wasn't because it got hit. Imagine how hard the usn will get hit against a near peer enemy with modern anti ship missiles and drone swarms when they're already struggling this hard against a handful of drones and 70s era hand me down AShMs from China and Iran.

I don't believe they have. Yemen's loose attacks have all be repelled and they probably don't want to actually hit a ship since that'd mean actual occupation and full scale invasion of their country
