DDG 62 preps for voyage to HII

The damaged guided-missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) left the U.S. naval base at Yokosuka, Japan, on Nov. 24 to Ship Repair Facility Yokosuka where it will be loaded aboard the heavy lift transport Transshelf within a few days. The transport will deliver DDG 62 to Huntington Ingalls Industries’ Pascagoula, Miss., shipyard for more than a year of repairs. (Source: Maritime Herald 11/24/17)
