The US Navy deployed the missile cruiser USS Princeton in the Arabian Sea, southeast of Iran.
The US Naval Institute reported this information.
The ship carries 122 missiles, including Tomahawk cruise missiles, ASROC anti-submarine rockets, and Standard surface-to-air missiles.
CENTCOM previously lacked such a powerful vessel during operations against Iran.
Despite a US-Iran memorandum, US warships remain in the Arabian Sea.
