Since October 7, 2023, the US Navy has expended $1.85 billion worth of munitions in combat operations in the Middle East, primarily against the Houthis and in defense of Israel from Iranian attacks.
The US Navy's campaign has involved shooting down missiles and drones targeting both merchant vessels and Israel, amidst persistent tensions and aggressive actions in the Red Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean.
In response to escalating threats, including Houthi attacks and Iranian missile launches, US Navy warships have actively engaged in airstrikes and missile deflections, totaling significant military expenditure and operational engagement.
