Capt. Jerry Zinni, left, deputy operations superviser of shipbuilding, and Cmdr. Tom Shultz, prospective commanding officer of the guided-missile destroyer pre-commissioning unit Michael Murphy (DDG 112) sign papers delivering PCU Michael Murphy to the Navy from General Dynamics at the Bath Iron Works shipyard. Michael Murphy is the last DDG 51-class ship to deliver until the class restart ships begin delivering in fiscal year 2016. PCU Michael Murphy successfully completed combined super trials in the Atlantic Ocean in March. The new destroyer honors the late Lt. Michael P. Murphy, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions as leader of a Navy SEAL team in Afghanistan. Murphy was the first person to be awarded the medal for actions in Afghanistan, and the first member of the U.S. Navy to receive the award since the Vietnam War. (U.S. Navy photo by M.C. Nutter)
