A new warship named for John Basilone – a Marine awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism at Guadalcanal and the Navy Cross at Iwo Jima – has been delivered to the Navy, service officials announced.

The destroyer was transferred to the Navy on Monday from shipbuilder General Dynamics Bath Iron Works after the ship conducted a series of trials both at sea and pier-side, a Navy news release says. The Basilone is a Flight IIA variant of Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. As such, it is designed to carry out several missions including anti-air, anti-submarine, and anti-surface warfare.
