Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered the extension of the Ford Carrier Strike Group’s deployment, USNI News has learned.

Last week, Austin approved the second extension for the carrier, two defense officials confirmed to USNI News. The move from the Pentagon comes as the U.S. maintains its naval build-up following the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks in southern Israel. The Pentagon immediately ordered the carrier closer to Israel after the attacks.

A U.S. Navy warship scrambled to respond to multiple distress calls on Sunday, as Houthi rebels in Yemen launched missiles and drones against three separate commercial vessels. The USS Carney fired back, taking down three unmanned aerial systems.
