    Trump was referring to cargo ships from the general naval blockade, not US Navy warships. There’s no evidence of US Navy ships being hit or even sunk, satellite imagery shows them operating normally. The Yemenis have sunk 2 ships, hijacked 2 ships, damaged 43 ships, and left 16 in a state of unknown damage/repair in their blockade of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. That’s a total of 61 ships hit. Unsuccessful attacks were also launched against 37 further cargo ships. That’s what is being referred to here.
