USS GONZALEZ
FLIGHT I ARLEIGH BURKE
CLASS SHIP
USS Gonzalez (DDG-66) is
an Arleigh Burke-class (Flight I) Aegis guided missile
destroyer in the United States Navy.
Gonzalez
took part in Operation Allied Force, firing Tomahawk
cruise missiles at Serbian targets in 1999. USS Gonzalez
also assisted a cruise ship, Seabourn Spirit, after an
abortive attack by pirates off the coast of Somalia in
2005.
On 1 March
2006, the ship was involved in the action of 18 March
2006 with suspected pirates, along with the cruiser USS
Cape St. George. The two ships exchanged fire with the
pirates about 25 nautical miles off the coast of
Somalia. One pirate was killed and five wounded.
On 17 July
2006, USS Gonzalez was deployed to help in evacuation
efforts of American citizens from Lebanon in the midst
of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.
Since May
2022, Gonzalez was homeported out of Naval Station
Norfolk and a part of Destroyer Squadron 28, along with
Carrier Strike Group 8 led by the USS Harry S. Truman.
