History

The USS Howard (DDG 83) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, commissioned in 2001. Named in honor of Gunnery Sergeant Jimmie E. Howard, a Marine Medal of Honor recipient for extraordinary heroism during the Vietnam War, the USS Howard carries forward his legacy of valor. Equipped with the Aegis Combat System, Tomahawk missiles, and advanced radar, she is capable of multi-mission roles — from air defense to anti-submarine warfare. The USS Howard serves as a critical asset in the Pacific Fleet, representing both modern naval strength and a tribute to American heroism.
