The decision, signed by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, comes amid ongoing Houthi threats to shipping lanes in the region.

Pentagon Extends Red Sea Deployment Amid Ongoing Houthi Attacks

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has extended the deployment of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and its strike group in the Red Sea for another month due to ongoing Houthi attacks. The decision underscores the importance of the carrier group's role in protecting commercial and military vessels in the region, which is a critical transit route for global trade. The extension means the sailors will not return home until mid-summer, continuing their operations against the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen.

"US Military Battles Relentless Houthi Attacks with Unprecedented Pace and Precision"

The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group, comprising 7,000 sailors, has been engaged in an unrelenting battle against Iranian-backed Houthi militants in the Red Sea, launching about 100 flights daily to thwart drone and missile attacks. The group's efforts have significantly reduced the militants' activity, allowing safe passage for over 2,000 ships. The sailors, enduring a grueling pace without port calls, face frequent attacks and have been compared to World War II battles, but remain committed to the mission of safeguarding the vital waterway.

"Sea Drones and Missile Threats: The Evolving Challenges for the US Navy"

Houthi rebels have targeted the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower with naval drones in the Red Sea, adding a new surface-level threat to the attacks from airborne drones and missiles. The use of sea drones, pioneered by Ukraine, has been encountered by US forces, with two drones being taken out as an imminent threat to shipping. The emergent technology presents a "scary scenario" for the US Navy, as it lacks intelligence on the extent of the Houthi drone arsenal, and the drones provide an "immense asymmetric advantage" for their users.

The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and USS Gravely in the Red Sea are on high alert for potential Houthi drone and missile attacks, with the US Navy working at a frenetic pace to respond to the unprecedented threat.

"US Navy's Constant Airborne Response to Houthi Threats in Red Sea"

The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, a key player in the US Navy's response to Houthi threats, has its aircraft constantly in the air, launching planes every hour to hour and a half to intercept threats and strike the Iran-backed rebels in Yemen. The carrier's crew of over 5,000 sailors maintains a robust operation to keep its fleet of over 70 aircraft ready and airborne, with missions ranging from training to defending against ongoing Houthi attacks and preemptive strikes to eliminate Houthi missiles and drones before they pose a threat to international shipping lanes.

"Assessing Morale and Readiness: US Navy's Response to Red Sea Threats"

Leaders from the Norfolk-based USS Dwight D. Eisenhower strike group report high morale among the crew despite the tense climate in the Middle East, where the ship and its strike group have been deployed to the Red Sea. The region has seen increased attacks on merchant vessels and military ships by Houthi-controlled Yemen, backed by Iran. U.S. Navy ships, including Norfolk-based destroyer USS Laboon, have been targeted, but missiles were successfully intercepted. The sailors have been part of joint strikes and retaliatory actions against Houthi targets, with the commanding officer emphasizing the crew's dedication and the ship's motto, "best damn ship in the Navy."
