USS Milius, guided-missile destroyer, arrives in Japan before Trump-Kim summit
The USS Milius, a guided-missile destroyer, arrived at the U.S. Navy base in Yokosuka, Japan, on Tuesday -- a move the Defense Department says brings "enhanced missile defense capabilities" to the Indo-Pacific region.
"During the past year, while homeported in San Diego, Milius was fitted with the Aegis Baseline 9 combat system, upgrading its air defense, ballistic missile defense, surface warfare and undersea warfare capabilities," Navy Lt. j.g. Michael Barkofski wrote last week in a Defense Department news release. "The ship then completed Combat System Ship's Qualification trials and multiple live-fire events to perform operational testing of its new weapons technology."
