NORFOLK, Va. - The USS Mahan returned to its homeport, Naval Station Norfolk, Friday afternoon.
The Mahan was deployed as part of the USS Dwight D Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group. It was the second deployment in less than a year for the strike group.
The carrier returned to Norfolk on July 18.
Much of the time away was spent at sea because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
USS Mahan (DDG-72) is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in service for the United States Navy.
