USS Truxtun (DDG-103) is an Arleigh Burke-طراز destroyer currently in service with the United States Navy.

She is the sixth U.S. naval warship to bear his name.

Construction

Truxtun's keel was laid down on 11 April 2005. During construction at Ingalls Shipbuilding, Pascagoula, Mississippi, she suffered a major electrical fire on 20 May 2006, engulfing two levels and causing damage estimated to be worth millions of dollars.^[2] She was launched on 17 April 2007,^[1] then christened on 2 June 2007, in Pascagoula,^[3] with Truxtun's descendants, Susan Scott Martin and Carol Leigh Roelker, serving as sponsors,^[4] and commissioned on 25 April 2009, in Charleston, South Carolina. اعتبارا من July 2020^[تحديث] the ship is part of Destroyer Squadron 26 based out of Naval Station Norfolk.^[5]

Ship history

In 2012, the US Navy contracted with L3 Technologies to develop a fuel-efficient hybrid electric drive train for the Flight IIA Arleigh Burke guided missile destroyers. The system proposed used a pre-existing quill drive on the reduction gearbox, allowing an electric motor to drive the ships up to 13 kn (24 km/h; 15 mph). Truxtun was fitted with the permanent magnet motor system in 2012, under a research and development contract with General Atomics.^[6] In March 2018, the US Navy announced that the trial program to install hybrid electric drives in 34 destroyers would be cancelled leaving Truxtun as the only ship so fitted.^[7]

In March 2014, Truxtun sailed to the Black Sea, to conduct training with the Romanian and Bulgarian navies. The deployment of Truxtun, along with sister ship Donald Cook, to the Black Sea, was intended as a "strategic reassurance" for former Soviet republics and satellite states concerned about the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation^[8]^[9]

On 10 August 2020, Truxtun completed a deployment with the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group, without any port calls, that lasted for almost seven months.^[10]

At a Pentagon press briefing on 24 April 2023, the spokesperson stated that the Truxtun was "... off the coast of Sudan, near the Port of Sudan. It will stay there awaiting further orders should it be needed to support. Also, en route is the USS Puller"^[11]

In popular culture

Truxtun was seen in the feature film Captain Phillips, standing in for يوإس‌إس Bainbridge.^[12]
