See the hectic flight deck operations aboard a US Navy aircraft carrier in the Red Sea, where warplane pilots and crews are 'on alerts all the time'

• The US Navy has been regularly striking Houthi missiles and drones before they launch.
• Planes from USS Dwight D. Eisenhower are always flying and ready to execute these strike missions.
• Business Insider recently traveled to the Ike in the Red Sea and saw these activities firsthand.

Flight operations aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower are chaotic to watch, with sailors and aircraft constantly in motion. That flurry of activity though allows the warship to put a tremendous amount of combat power in the air, including heavily armed jets that are ready to strike at a moment's notice.
