:''See USS ''Mustin'' for other ships of the same name.'' USS ''Mustin'' (DDG-89) is an guided missile destroyer in the United States Navy. She was named in honor of the Mustin family. Patriarch Henry C. Mustin was a pioneering naval aviator, and several of his sons and grandsons went on to serve as US Navy officers. ''Mustin'' was the first ''Arleigh Burke'' destroyer built with her funnels submerged into the superstructure, an additional stealth measure taken on the warships. The ship is the Navy's second ''Mustin'' after of World War II era. The contract to build her was awarded to Ingalls Shipbuilding on 6 March 1998. Her keel was laid down on 15 January 2001, she was launched on 12 December 2001, and commissioned 26 July 2003. ''Mustin'' is equipped with Aegis, an advanced combat weapons system. ==Ship history== On 1 February 2005 USS ''Mustin'' began her maiden deployment and returned on 1 August. In July 2006, ''Mustin'' and her crew of 300 were deployed to Yokosuka Naval Base in Yokosuka, Japan, home of the Navy's 7th Fleet, for permanent assignment. Though coming at a time in response to the recent North Korea missile tests, the deployment was previously ordered, unrelated to the incidents. During the 2008 Myanmar Cyclone Nargis crisis and the subsequent Operation Caring Response aid mission, as part of the Amphibious Ready Group (also including the and the ), she stood by off Burma from 13 May to 5 June, waiting for the Myanmar junta government to permit US aid to its citizens. However, in early June, with permission still not forthcoming, it was decided to put the group back on its scheduled operations.〔 〕 In March 2011, in company with the aircraft carrier , the ship was deployed off northeastern Honshu, Japan. The mission was to assist with relief efforts after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. During the 2011 Thailand floods, the ship was docked at Port Laem Chabang on a routine visit when the Thai government asked for assistance in aerial surveillance of the extent of Bangkok flooding. Captain John Kirby said Thailand had asked the warship to prolong its stay at the port for up to six days; the Pentagon said the two Seahawk helicopters, from HSL-51 detachment SIX, aboard would conduct the reconnaissance. In November 2013, ''Mustin'' was sent to the Philippines as part of the U.S. aid mission after the country (especially the city of Tacloban and Leyte Province) was devastated by Super Typhoon Haiyan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS Mustin (DDG-89)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
