In 2017, the USS Fitzgerald collided with the commercial vessel ACX Crystal off the coast of Japan. The collision killed seven sailors and heavily damaged the starboard side of the ship. Fitzgerald was lifted onto the heavy load carrier M/V Transshelf and carried back to Huntington Ingalls Industries shipyard in the Gulf of Mexico.

The ship also survived two nuclear tests, only to be finally sunk by the U.S. Navy for target practice.
