The US is sending one warship and a support ship to the eastern Mediterranean as a show of support for "regional stability".
Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Michael Mullen, said the presence of the USS Cole was important. He said the signal was "not specifically sent to any one country as much as it is to the region itself".
"That's a very important part of the world and stability there is an important outcome for us," he said.
The USS Cole is expected to take up position, out of visible range of Lebanon.
Lebanese officials said that they were not informed of the US decision to dispatch navy ships to Lebanon.
"We did not request any warships from any party," Prime Minister Fuad Saniora said.
