a combined attack of missile 358/359 (to disrupt aerial interception operations) + torpedos + UUVs + ASBMs is needed to hit a US ship when it passes the Strait of Hormoz
Houthis managed pretty large saturation attacks, without major success but they came close a few times, at a much further distance from their coastline as well
The impact the Houthis achieved was psychological. For 9 months following their largest attack not a single us navy warship passed through bab el mandeb and allied european navies had to pause operation aspides. The houthis did this by being smart about their attacks and launching 1-2 missiles at a time and constantly having drones up in different areas and once they wanted to attack concentrating fire on loose formations whilst sending small anmount of drones and missiles towards warships to keep them occupied. Iran failing to capatilise on opportunities is nothing new and serious degreadation of capabilities is expected by the sheer volume of strike particularly by USN on chahbahar and bandar abbas
