The US Navy has revealed that it has spent close to $1 billion on munitions in response to more than 130 direct attacks on US military and merchant ships in the Middle East over the last six months. This information was shared by US Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro during a hearing with the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Del Toro emphasized the urgent need for lawmakers to approve a supplemental national security package to replenish the depleted munitions stockpile. He highlighted the critical role that these munitions play in defending US Navy and merchant vessels against hostile threats.
