The ship was built by Northrop Grumman Ship Systems (now HII Ingalls Shipbuilding) in Pascagoula, Mississippi: keel laid October 4, 2006, launched January 26, 2008, and commissioned March 6, 2010 at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, California — the first ship commissioning ever held at Seal Beach. Dewey is forward-deployed to Yokosuka, Japan as part of Destroyer Squadron 15 (DESRON 15) under the George Washington \/ Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group, providing US 7th Fleet with persistent forward Aegis ballistic missile defense, anti-air warfare, anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, and Tomahawk strike capability. Across her service Dewey has been the testbed for several pioneering capabilities — including the April 2013 installation and at-sea testing of the experimental Laser Weapon System (LaWS), the Navy's first deployed solid-state laser weapon — and has executed multiple high-profile Indo-Pacific operations, including a May 2017 freedom of navigation operation in the South China Sea. The ship's motto, \"Dynamis Ex Cardias\" (The Will to Fight from the Heart), captures the crew's identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: USS Dewey DDG-105 sailors, chiefs, and officers, Destroyer Squadron 15 (DESRON 15) personnel, Yokosuka Japan and US 7th Fleet forward-deployed naval forces (FDNF) families, Arleigh Burke-class destroyer community, Aegis combat system technicians and surface warfare officers (SWOs), Laser Weapon System (LaWS) test history enthusiasts, Admiral George Dewey and Spanish-American War historians, and Pascagoula HII Ingalls shipbuilders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUSS Dewey DDG-105 — Dynamis Ex Cardias.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches by USMCinsignia.com","offers":[{"title":"With Hook \u0026 Loop","offer_id":45037756514413,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Hook \u0026 Loop","offer_id":45037756547181,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/USMCPatches.com_28_40663775-ae2b-48e2-8255-cd9fe84a1819.png?v=1775670080","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/officially-licensed-us-navy-uss-dewey-ddg-105-patch","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
