5 SAN DIEGO – Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Mustin (DDG 89) returned to San Diego, after 15 years serving in the Forward Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF) in Japan, July 22.
Mustin executed a change of station to the United States to conduct a planned depot modernization period and will be replaced by Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Ralph Johnson (DDG 114), who will depart their homeport of Everett, Washington.
“Planned maintenance availabilities like these are critical to ensuring ships are maintained and equipped to perform combat-ready tasking when called upon and achieve their expected service life,” said Cmdr. Robert Briggs, commanding officer of USS Mustin.
