Destroyers

Adm. John Richardson will withdraw and dismiss charges against Cmdr. Bryce Benson and Lt. Natalie Combs.

The Navy is taking a big step toward keeping some of its aging destroyers in the fight.

A report on the USS Fitzgerald's 2017 collision with a cargo ship in the South China Sea reveals several warning signs.

The destroyer is named for a Navy SEAL posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions in Iraq.

A U.S. guided-missile destroyer on Monday sailed within 12 nautical miles of disputed islands in the South China Sea.

Navy officials said they had identified misconduct during an ongoing investigation.

Seventy-eight of the 110 recommendations made after lengthy investigations into a spate of mishaps are "fully underway."

The second-in-command of the USS Decatur was fired last week following a loss of confidence in his ability to lead.

Lt. Natalie Combs, the Fitzgerald's former tactical action officer, was charged with dereliction of duty through neglect.

Benson was commanding officer of the Fitzgerald when it collided with a container ship off the coast of Japan in June 2017.
