Eisenhower<\/a>, and its three warships home. The other ships in the strike group are the USS Philippine Sea, a cruiser, and two destroyers, the USS Gravely and the USS Mason. All together they include about 6,000 sailors.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2024\/02\/12\/all-the-houthi-us-navy-incidents-in-the-middle-east-that-we-know-of\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8198875.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">All the Houthi-US Navy incidents in the Middle East (that we know of)<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">A non-exhaustive, running list of Houthi attacks in the Middle East and the U.S. strikes back at them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision means the sailors and the carrier\u2019s air wing won\u2019t be home until the middle of the summer, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a decision not made public. The officials declined to provide exact dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A normal ship deployment lasts for about seven months, and the ships left their homeport of Norfolk, Virginia, in October. Austin approved the first order to extend their deployment about four weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Austin had weighed the decision for a further extension for some time. Navy leaders routinely press to bring ships home in order to maintain a repair schedule and give sailors a needed break. But U.S. Central Command leaders have long argued that having a carrier in the region is critical for international security, including as a deterrent to Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent months, the ships have played a critical role in <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/yemen-attacks-iran-ships-retaliation-houthis-d770a3fb0fab4c4b72e2459771833e11\">protecting commercial and military vessels from a dramatic surge<\/a> in attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen. And officials say that a significant U.S. naval commitment to the region sends a strong signal to the commercial shipping industry that vessels can get protection as they travel the crucial transit route through the Red Sea, from the Suez Canal to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 12% of the world\u2019s trade typically passes through the waterway that separates Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, including oil, natural gas, grain and everything from toys to electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Houthis have attacked ships since November, saying they want to force <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/isral-hamas-war\" target=\"_blank\">Israel to end its offensive in the Gaza Strip against Hamas<\/a>. But the ships targeted by the Houthis have largely had little or no connection to Israel, the U.S. or other nations involved in the war. The rebels have also fired missiles toward Israel, though they have largely fallen short or been intercepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Eisenhower and its strike group have been involved in routine operations against the Houthis all year. They also have participated in five major <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2024\/05\/30\/us-britain-strike-houthi-targets-in-yemen-after-surge-in-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\">joint missions with British forces<\/a> to target dozens of the militant group\u2019s drones, missile launchers and other facilities and targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. forces recently engaged two Houthi anti-ship ballistic missiles fired in the direction of USS Gravely, CENTCOM said in a statement Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The missiles \u201cwere destroyed in self-defense, with no damage or injuries reported by U.S., coalition, or commercial ships,\u201d CENTCOM said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ships are also spearheading Operation Prosperity Guardian, which was announced by Austin in December as a multinational mission to ensure security and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Thursday, for example, F\/A-18 fighter jets off the Eisenhower struck an array of targets in Yemen, in response to a recent increase in attacks by the group. And other ships in the strike group also launched missiles as part of the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any decision to bring the carrier home would leave the region without the ship-based fighter jets, and commanders would have to rely more heavily on land-based aircraft or other warships, which don\u2019t have fighter jets, to take out Houthi drones or other munitions that are preparing to launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Lt. Cmdr. Lauren Chatmas, the strike group\u2019s aircraft have flown more than 12,100 sorties, totaling over 27,200 flight hours, and they\u2019ve launched more than 350 air-to-surface weapons and more than 50 air-to-air missiles. The warships have each traveled more than 55,000 miles, and they\u2019ve launched more than 100 Standard and Tomahawk missiles. In all, the strike group has gone after about 430 either pre-planned or dynamic targets in its mission to defend U.S., coalition and merchant ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Military Times Night and Weekend Editor Beth Sullivan contributed to this story.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The strike group, which for months has launched crucial strikes against Houthi rebels, will remain in the Red Sea for at least another month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":81724,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":88,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[15,88],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1418],"class_list":["post-74912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-your-military"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"IC26Y3NQEBFTTOZP7RIVYD2J3Q","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-navy\/2024\/06\/02\/eisenhower-carrier-strike-group-deployment-extended\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Eisenhower carrier strike group deployment extended - Military Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The strike group, which for months has launched crucial strikes against Houthi rebels, will remain in the Red Sea for at least another month.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Eisenhower carrier strike group deployment extended\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The strike group, which for months has launched crucial strikes against Houthi rebels, will remain in the Red Sea for at least another month.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2024\/06\/02\/eisenhower-carrier-strike-group-deployment-extended\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Military Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-06-02T14:04:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T20:22:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lolita C.
