USS Arleigh Burke had a productive year. The ship sailed more than 44,000 miles, circumnavigated Europe, and executed operations in the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Barents Sea, Atlantic Ocean, and Arctic Ocean. At 30+ years, the ship (and class) remains relevant, capable, ready, and on duty. See the year in review here.

Website Update

The Association website has been transitioned to WordPress, which provides a more modern layout, flexibility, and easier maintenance.

We are slowly working on scanning historical content, so check back often to see some new (old) stories and pictures.
