The USS Ted Stevens has officially joined the U.S. Navy fleet after being commissioned in Whittier, Alaska.
The new Flight III Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer honors the legacy of longtime Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, a decorated World War II veteran and longtime advocate for Alaska and the U.S. military.
Officials also highlighted Alaska’s strategic importance to U.S. national defense and the importance of a strong maritime industrial base as the Navy works toward President Trump’s “Golden Fleet” initiative.
The USS Ted Stevens will eventually be homeported in Norfolk, Virginia.
