U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Sunday that a new Ohio-class submarine entered their area of responsibility.

The CENTCOM area of responsibility covers millions of square miles from North Africa through the Middle East and Central Asia. They have not specified what region the submarine is in.

"On November 5, 2023, an Ohio-class submarine arrived in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility," CENTCOM's post on X, formerly known as Twitter, read. Ohio-class submarines are the American military's largest class of submarines.

The announcement came as the U.S. military continues its build-up in the Middle East amid the Israel-Hamas war. The USS Eisenhower and USS Gerald R. Ford, two massive aircraft carriers, have both been sent to the Eastern Mediterranean.
