The Defense Department is sending another destroyer, USS Cole, to the southern border mission.
Cole is the latest destroyer to go from the Red Sea conflict to America's backyard.
The warship is one of the many military assets the White House has sent to the US-Mexico border.
A fourth US Navy destroyer that participated in the Red Sea conflict is on its way to support President Donald Trump's southern border mission, bringing a range of advanced naval combat capabilities to a very different operating environment.
