Carrier Air Wing 3 from USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69), USS Gravely (DDG-107), USS Mason (DDG-87) and USS Philippine Sea (CG-58) were involved in Thursday’s strike on Houthi targets in Yemen, a senior defense official told reporters Friday.
An Ohio-class submarine was also involved, but Lt. Gen. Douglas Sims, director of the Joint Staff, did not identify the submarine. However, USS Florida (SSGN-728) entered the Red Sea in November.
A senior U.S. official told Military.com that 22 fixed-wing aircraft were involved in the strikes, with more than 80 Tomahawk missiles launched.
After striking 16 locations, which may have had multiple targets, the U.S. and United Kingdom identified 12 additional locations, which were struck.
