Known for his daring raid to burn the captured frigate USS Philadelphia in Tripoli Harbor during the First Barbary War — an act Lord Horatio Nelson called \"the most bold and daring act of the age\" — Decatur embodied the fighting spirit that defines the U.S. Navy to this day. Commissioned on August 22, 1998, DDG-73 has served in multiple theaters of operation, conducting strike warfare, ballistic missile defense, surface warfare, and anti-submarine warfare missions across the Pacific and beyond.
