Aloha Maui! The #USSDanielInouye had the amazing experience of pulling into Lahaina Harbor flanked by the Mo’okiha O Pi’ilani, a traditional Hawaiian transoceanic voyaging canoe.
The future #USSDanielInouye completes its maiden voyage arriving at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam today, where the #USNavy 's and U.S. 3rd Fleet's newest guided-missile destroyer will be homeported and commissioned on Dec. 8. #GoForBroke #DDG118
A worthy honor. The @usnavy’s newest guided-missile destroyer, #USSDanielInouye , completed its maiden voyage & commissioned today at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. The ship pays tribute to the late Daniel Inouye; a native Hawaiian Medal of Honor recipient from #WWII & U.S. senator of 50 years.
