Destroyer Departure

Destroyer Departure

Spectators watch the Michael Murphy, the last of the U.S. Navy's original run of Arleigh Burke destroyers, as it heads down the Kennebec River off of Phippsburg, Maine, Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2012. This ship is scheduled to be commissioned in October in New York City, before sailing to its home port at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The Murphy is named for the Navy lieutenant and Medal of Honor recipient who led a four-member SEAL team against overwhelming odds in a gun battle in eastern Afghanistan. (AP Photo/Joel Page)
