Navy destroyer USS Daniel Inouye completes maintenance ahead of schedule (R. P. Kelly '07)
The guided-missile destroyer USS Daniel Inouye returned to Pearl Harbor eight days ahead of schedule after completing what the Navy described as a “complex maintenance period.”
The Hawaii Regional Maintenance Center oversaw the work, which was carried out by Honolulu-based contractor Pacific Shipyards International, according to a Pacific Fleet news release Friday. The destroyer returned to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on April 23.
The Daniel Inouye’s skipper, CDR Ryan Kelly, credited the shortened turnaround to coordination among the crew and maintenance teams.
