The guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance left Naval Base San Diego Saturday on a border security mission in support of President Trump’s immigration crackdown.
The U.S. Northern Command said the warship would help fight “maritime-related terrorism, weapons proliferation, transnational crime, piracy, environmental destruction, and illegal seaborne immigration.”
The ship joins another destroyer that deployed to the Gulf of Mexico, which Trump has renamed the Gulf of America, on a similar mission.
“USS Spruance’s deployment as part of U.S. Northern Command’s southern border mission brings additional capability and expands the geography of unique military capabilities working with the Department of Homeland Security,” said Gen. Gregory Guillot of Northern Command.
“With Spruance off the West Coast and USS Gravely in the Gulf of America, our maritime presence contributes to the all-domain, coordinated DOD response to the Presidential Executive Order and demonstrates our resolve to achieve operational control of the border.,” Guillot said.
The Spruance will be accompanied by an embedded U.S. Coast Guard law enforcement detachment.
The warship was last deployed to the Middle East, where it helped repel Houthi missile and drone attacks as part of the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group.
