USS Forrest Sherman (DDG-98) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer commissioned in 2006, named for Admiral Forrest Sherman who served as Chief of Naval Operations from 1949 to 1951. Sherman was a naval aviator who commanded carriers in World War II and helped define the strategic architecture of the early Cold War Navy — a key figure in the unification debates that created the modern Joint Chiefs of Staff. DDG-98 carries his name with distinction, deploying with carrier strike groups across the Atlantic and Mediterranean on missions that demand readiness, precision, and endurance.
