USS ''Lassen'' (DDG-82) is a Flight IIA ''Arleigh Burke''-class guided missile destroyer in the United States Navy. She was homeported in San Diego until she shifted homeport to Yokosuka Naval Base in Yokosuka, Japan in August 2005, where she remains as of October 2015. ''Lassen'' is named for Clyde Everett Lassen, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his courageous rescue of two downed aviators while commander of a search and rescue helicopter in Vietnam. On 15 February 2009 at 12:25 pm, ''Lassen'' collided with a Japanese 14-ton pleasure boat in Yokosuka harbor.
