USS Mahan (DDG-72) is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in the United States Navy, and the fouth US Navy ship to bear the name. She is homeported in Norfolk, Virginia and part of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. Like her predecessors, she is named after Alfred Thayer Mahan, the famous theorist on seapower.
On 16 February 2007, Mahan was awarded the 2006 Battle "E" award. [1]
