I was TDY to the USS Bainbridge, DLGN 25 for about a month and a half way back when. This must be another Bainbridge. Thought DLGN 25 decommissioned.

The current USS Bainbridge (DDG-96), is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, commissioned on 12 November 2005 and is currently in service.

Armament: 1 x 32 cell, 1 x 64 cell Mk 41 vertical launch systems,
96 x RIM-66 SM-2,
BGM-109 Tomahawk or RUM-139 VL-Asroc, missiles
1 x 5/62 in (127/62 mm), 2 x 25 mm, 4 x 12.7 mm guns 2 x Mk 46 triple torpedo tubes

Aircraft carried: 2 x SH-60 Sea Hawk helicopters

Muchas Gracias, El Gato!

I really appreciate help from Zoomies.....really!

The DLGN 25 I was on had a service life of 37.5 years. She made it....but way short of the service life of the Buff.
