I guess it’s because technically the US hasn’t been at war since WW2, and so ships sunk since then were not considered enemy ships. Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Gulf, and Iraq were all technically not wars but just “special military operations” or whatever. Where do you think Putin gets most of his aspirations and ideas?
The last ship to sink an enemy vessel was the USS Simpson in the 1988 Iran-Iraq war, which retired in 2015. Every conflict after has not had any naval combat resulting in a loss of vessel.
You’re telling me no ship in the current fleet besides that old ship has sunk an enemy vessel?
They focus mainly on murdering innocent civilians.

What about all those Venezuelan ships?

That’s very surprising to me. Do they not count random pirate boats and so, or did they really sink no vessels at all since then?
They do not count anti-pirate operations, the US Navy has never counted anti-pirate operations.
I think many of the actions have been against what are considered non-state actors. So I think it’s just what’s considered an “enemy vessel”
