About time. It certainly took long enough.

The USS Stockdale

The USS Stockdale will deploy to the southern border between the U.S. and Mexico to support border security objectives, replacing the USS Spruance after only a few weeks. The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer has departed from Naval Base San Diego and will take over from the Spruance. This follows a seven-month independent deployment to the U.S. 3rd, 5th and 7th Fleet areas of operations.

Previous Navy-Coast Guard collaborations have yielded significant results, with joint operations preventing nearly 15 tons of cocaine from entering the U.S. last year alone. Criminal organizations increasingly use sophisticated vessels, including remote-operated submersibles, to smuggle drugs into the country.

U.S. Fleet Forces command (USFFC) reported that the Stockdale will "respond to national priorities and a Presidential declaration emphasizing the military's role in securing U.S. borders."

The U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) said this deployment continues the force's commitment to "support critical Department of Homeland Security capabilities gaps," to which the Stockdale would prove a "vital" contribution.
