...The new destroyer honors the late Lt. Michael P. Murphy, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions as leader of a Navy SEAL team in Afghanistan.I should add that Lt. Murphy's story is recounted in one of the best books I have ever read, "Lone Survivor" by fellow SEAL Marcus Luttrell
Murphy was the first person to be awarded the medal for actions in Afghanistan, and the first member of the U.S. Navy to receive the award since the Vietnam War...
