"US Navy's Constant Airborne Response to Houthi Threats in Red Sea"
TL;DR
The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, a key player in the US Navy's response to Houthi threats, has its aircraft constantly in the air, launching planes every hour to hour and a half to intercept threats and strike the Iran-backed rebels in Yemen. The carrier's crew of over 5,000 sailors maintains a robust operation to keep its fleet of over 70 aircraft ready and airborne, with missions ranging from training to defending against ongoing Houthi attacks and preemptive strikes to eliminate Houthi missiles and drones before they pose a threat to international shipping lanes.
