USS Carney (DDG-64) is the 14th Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in the United States Navy. The guided-missile destroyer is the first to be named after Admiral Robert Carney, who served as Chief of Naval Operations during the Eisenhower administration.
Carney was laid down in 1993 at Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine. She was launched in 1994 with Betty Taussig, daughter of Admiral Carney, as sponsor. She was placed in commission in 1996, and is homeported in Mayport, Florida.[4] She has a range of 5,100 miles (4,400 nautical miles), travels at a speed in excess of 30 knots, and has a crew of 329.[5] She is armed with standard missiles, Harpoon missile launchers, Tomahawk missiles, a 54 caliber lightweight gun, and torpedoes, and carries a multi-mission helicopter.[5]
In 2002, she deployed to the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. In 2011, Carney disrupted four piracy attempts and disarmed and captured 30 suspected pirates, in support of Operation Ocean Shield in the Gulf of Aden. In 2016, Carney took part in Operation Odyssey Lightning, against ISIS militants in Libya.
In December 2023, Carney and civilian-owned ships were attacked in the Red Sea, with ballistic missiles fired and drones launched from Yemen by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.
