Our goal was to ask the Navy to name the DDG-112 (Hull 506),
an Arleigh Burke Class AEGIS destroyer, which is currently at
Bath Iron Works, Maine.
Bath Iron Works, a General Dynamics company, was awarded a
$562 million contract for the construction of the final Burke-class
destroyer, known as DDG 112, on January 21, 2005. DDG 112, the 34th
ship of this class built by Bath Iron Works, is expected to be delivered
to the US Navy by December 2010. The ship is part of fiscal year
2002-2005 multi-year procurement contract which was originally awarded
in September 2002. DDG 112 completes a series of 62 ships built in
three variants  and 


It would have been befitting to name this ship

USS Leahy (DDG-112).
