USS Bainbridge (DDG-96)
USS ''Bainbridge'' (DDG-96) is an guided missile destroyer in the United States Navy. She is the fifth ship to carry that name, and the 46th destroyer of a planned 75-ship class. ''Bainbridge'' is named in honor of Commodore William Bainbridge, who as commander of the frigate USS ''Constitution'' distinguished himself in the War of 1812 when he and his crew captured HMS ''Java'', a 38-gun fifth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy.
Since her commissioning in 2005, ''Bainbridge'' has been active in the Mediterranean Sea, but most of the attention she has garnered has been as a result of the failed hijacking attempt of the U.S.-flagged freighter by Somali pirates in April, 2009, which ended with the release of the vessel's Master, Captain Richard Phillips, on 12 April 2009. After crewmen of the captured cargo vessel managed to retake the ship, the pirates retreated, taking the ship's Master hostage in a lifeboat. ''Bainbridge'', , and shadowed the pirates, and with FBI assistance attempted negotiations for the safe return of the captive captain until U.S. Navy SEAL snipers resolved the situation with deadly force. The story of this incident was turned into the 2013 motion picture titled ''Captain Phillips'', starring Tom Hanks. ''Bainbridge'' was portrayed by sister ship 〔(imdb Captain Phillips )〕

''Bainbridge'' is one of 75 authorized ''Arleigh Burke''–class guided missile destroyers, and is classified as a member of the Flight IIA–class variation that incorporate the 5"/62 caliber gun mount, an improvement over the previous 5"/54 caliber gun mounts on the earlier ''Arleigh Burke''–class destroyers. In addition to her guns, ''Bainbridge'' carries over 100 missiles of various types aboard two separate Mk 41 VLS magazines. Her superstructure features the AN/SPY-1 radar indicative of the Aegis combat system, which allows the destroyer to track over 100 targets simultaneously. (Owing to the presence of the Aegis system, ''Bainbridge'' and her sisters are sometimes incorrectly referred to as ''Aegis''-class ships.) She is also equipped with the Remote Mine-hunting System (RMS),〔(AN/WLD-1 – Remote Minehunting System ). See also (DN-SD-06-08197 ) for a 2004 image of the RMS, aboard , with logo that says "Remote Minehunting System".〕 which includes the Remote Mine-hunting Vehicle (RMV), an unmanned craft that detects, classifies, and localizes underwater mines.
''Bainbridge'' was floated from drydock and christened on 13 November 2004 at Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine, sponsored by Susan Bainbridge Hay, Commodore William Bainbridge's great-great-great-granddaughter. She was commissioned on 12 November 2005, with Commander John M. Dorey commanding.
