USS Fife (DD-991)

USS Fife (DD-991) was a Spruance-class destroyer commissioned into the United States Navy in 1980. Named after Admiral James Fife, Jr., the ship played a significant role in Cold War naval operations, providing anti-submarine and surface warfare capabilities. USS Fife participated in major exercises and deployments in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, including Operation Desert Storm, where she enforced maritime sanctions against Iraq. After over two decades of distinguished service, USS Fife was decommissioned in 2003 and subsequently sunk as a target during a training exercise in 2005.
