U.S. Northern Command deployed the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Gravely to Northcom's area of operations March 15, 2025, to assist with border security operations, the Pentagon announced today. 

USS Gravely departed from Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, [Virginia], for a scheduled deployment to the Gulf of America," Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell told the media. 

"It's not only vital for the United States to have control of our border via land. It's equally important to control our territorial waters, and this deployment directly supports U.S. Northern Command's mission to protect our sovereignty," he added. 

According to Air Force Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, Joint Staff director for operations, once in Northcom's AOR, USS Gravely will participate in drug interdiction missions. 

"[USS Gravely] will go down [to] the Gulf of America and surrounding areas and be involved in the interdiction mission for many of the drugs … that are coming in," Grynkewich said, adding that the ship will be partnered very closely with the U.S. Coast Guard's drug interdiction mission.

From the Twitters:

The USS Gravely (DDG-107) is named after VADM Samuel L. Gravely, Jr. (1922-2004), the first Black officer to command a US warship and later attain three-star rank.

I'm surprised Trump didn't find out and rename it after a Confederate general.
