The second USS Mustin (DDG-89) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer in the United States Navy. She was named in honor of the Mustin family. Mustin was the first Burke destroyer built with her funnels submerged into the superstructure, an additional stealth measure taken on the already stealthy warships.
The contract to build her was awarded to Ingalls Shipbuilding on 6 March 1998. Her keel was laid down on 15 January 2001, she was launched on 12 December 2001, and commissioned July 26, 2003. Mustin is equipped with Aegis, an advanced combat weapons system.
In July 2006, Mustin and her crew of 300 was deployed to Yokosuka, Japan, home of the Navy's 7th Fleet, for permanent assignment. Though coming at an opportune time in response to the recent North Korea missile tests, the deployment was previously ordered, unrelated to the incidents. She will be joined by USS Shiloh, a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser, in August 2006.
