SEAL BEACH, Calif. - A Northrop Grumman-built Aegis guided missile destroyer was commissioned Saturday in California. The USS Dewey, the 26th Arleigh Burke-class destroyer built in the company's Pascagoula, Miss., shipyard, was delivered to the Navy in August. DDG 105 is 510 feet long and has four gas-turbine propulsion plants that can power the ship to speeds above 30 knots. (Source: Mississippi Press, 03/06/10)
