USS Barry (DDG-52) is named after the “Father of the American Navy” — Commodore John Barry. The ship is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer which was commissioned in 1992.

As of 2008, Barry is one the three ships to have won the prestigious Battenberg Cup three times. (Battenberg Cup is given annually as a symbol of excellence to the best ship/submarine in the United States Navy Atlantic Fleet). In 2004 Barry also received the Arleigh Burke Fleet Trophy as being the most improved ship in the Atlantic Fleet.

USS Barry recently marked the centennial celebration of the Great White Fleet. Over 100 years ago the “Great White Fleet” made history; it made a 43,000 mile journey that included 20 port calls on six different continents that lasted from December 1907 until February 1909.

The USS Barry struck port in Malta, one of the locations that the historic Great White Fleet visited; this is to commemorate the anniversary of the historical event.
