The future USS Ted Stevens (DDG 128), a flight III Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer built by Ingalls, arrived at its Naval Station Norfolk homeport for the first time today.
The arrival of DDG 128 marks a key milestone for both the crew and for our shipbuilders who proudly watched her sail away from the shipyard last week.
This event begins the ship's transition from construction to the operational phase of testing and integration with the U.S. Navy. We look forward to seeing DDG 128 join the fleet.
