A place for every shipmate.
Ships are commissioned once. Legacies are permanent. Choose your tier, name your reason, and be part of the story of DDG-139 for the next fifty years at sea.
Some gifts are spent. This one is commissioned.
Navies are built by appropriations. Commissions are built by citizens.
When DDG-139 is placed in commission, everything an appropriation does not provide — the ceremonies that honor a hero's family, the support that surrounds her first crew and the families who wait for them, the keeping of the namesake's story for the generations who will serve under his name — will exist because people who never wore the uniform decided that his story deserved it.
A commissioning happens once. A century of silence ends once. The names on the donor wall are not a list of contributors; they are the crew behind the crew — entered permanently into the record of the first United States Navy warship ever named for a Filipino.
A level for every supporter.
Recognition levels follow the committee's published individual and corporate donor programs.
