A guided-missile destroyer was dispatched to patrol the Eastern Pacific on Friday, the Navy announced.
USS Stockdale (DDG-106) left Naval Base San Diego, Calif., on Friday with an embarked Coast Guard law enforcement detachment.
The patrol is part of U.S. Northern Command’s efforts in tandem with the Department of Homeland Security focus on the U.S. southern border.
“Stockdale’s sea-going capacity contributes to USNORTHCOM’s ability to protect the United States’ territorial integrity, sovereignty, and security, through a coordinated, multi-domain strategy,” reads a U.S. Navy Statement.
