It is my pleasure to announce that a future Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer will be named in honor of U.S. Senator and Navy veteran Thad Cochran.

Had the pleasure of meeting with Embassy #Marines during a visit to U.S. Embassy Oslo in Norway, one of our strongest NATO allies.

I am honored to name a future Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer after Senator Richard G. Lugar, who dedicated his life to his country, first through service in the U.S. Navy then through service in Congress.
