The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Oscar Austin (DDG 79) returned to Naval Station Norfolk following completion of a successful four-day sea trials, Feb. 17, 2022. This underway was one of the ship’s final requirements to rejoin the operational fleet following an extended maintenance and modernization period.
Due to the duration of the ship’s modernization, a majority of the Sailors onboard had never been underway on Oscar Austin but still prepared for the ship’s return to sea. The Sailors built and maintained their shipboard skills and proficiency using a mix of classroom training, simulators, and time on other ships.
“The Oscar Austin team showed superb resilience, technical skill, and professionalism in this highly anticipated return to sea following an extended availability,” said Capt. Stefan Walch, commodore of Destroyer Squadron Two.
