USS Barry (DD-933) was one of eighteen Forrest Sherman–class destroyers of the United States Navy, and was the third US destroyer to be named for Commodore John Barry. Commissioned in 1954, she spent most of her career in the Caribbean, Atlantic, and Mediterranean, but also served in the Vietnam War, for which she earned two battle stars. Another notable aspect of her service was the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Decommissioned in 1982, she became the “Display Ship Barry” (DS Barry), a museum ship at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., in 1984.

General Characteristics and Role

The USS Barry (DDG-52) is an Arleigh Burke-class Flight I Aegis guided missile destroyer, currently in active service with the US Navy. She is named in honor of Commodore John Barry, the “Father of the American Navy.” As an Aegis destroyer, her primary role is to serve as a multi-mission surface combatant capable of Anti-Air Warfare (AAW), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW). The ship is built around the advanced Aegis Combat System, featuring the powerful AN/SPY-1D multi-function phased array radar, which allows her to track hundreds of targets simultaneously and provide comprehensive fleet defense.
