"Sailors Confront Evolving Sea Threats: From Houthis to Sea Drones"

Sailors aboard the USS Eisenhower and its accompanying warships have been defending against ballistic missiles, drones, and now face a new threat of fast unmanned vessels launched by Iranian-backed Houthis in the Red Sea. The Navy has intercepted and destroyed multiple unmanned surface vessels, a new and concerning threat. The constant combat pace has taken a toll on sailors, but morale is maintained through reminders of their importance and access to wi-fi for staying connected with families. The USS Eisenhower's fleet has conducted numerous intercepts and self-defense strikes, with the crew remaining vigilant and committed to defending their ship and each other.
