Norfolk, Va. (Mar. 3, 2005) -- Sailors board the U.S. Navy's newest
Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Nitze (DDG 94) as they
"bring her to life," during the ship's commissioning ceremony held on
board Naval Station Norfolk, Va. Nitze is the 44th ship in the Arleigh
Burke class of guided missile destroyers and honors former Secretary of
the Navy Paul H. Nitze. This highly capable multi-mission ship can
conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime presence and crisis
management to sea control and power projection, in support of the
National Military Strategy. Nitze is capable of fighting air, surface,
and subsurface battles simultaneously. U.S. Navy photo by Photographers
