USS Ted Stevens to Be Commissioned, Enhancing US Navy's Capabilities
The USS Ted Stevens (DDG-128) will be commissioned in Whittier, Alaska, enhancing the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer fleet. This event underscores military modernization and strategic defense in response to evolving threats.

The US Navy has announced the forthcoming commissioning of the USS Ted Stevens (DDG-128) in Whittier, Alaska, with a date expected in the fall. Named after the late senator and World War II veteran Ted Stevens, this destroyer represents a significant upgrade in the Arleigh Burke-class fleet.
The Flight III variant, equipped with the advanced AN/SPY-6(V) radar, enhances detection and tracking capabilities critical for countering modern threats, including cruise and ballistic missiles. As the fleet's defensive backbone, the USS Ted Stevens will play a vital role in regional security, particularly against threats from China's PLA Rocket Force. The commissioning not only honors Stevens' legacy but also reflects ongoing investments in military readiness.
