USS McCampbell DDG-85 Japan poster art. USS McCampbell (DDG-85) is an ‘Arleigh Burke’-class destroyer in the United States Navy, named for Captain David McCampbell (1910–1996), the Navy’s leading ace in World War II. She was built at the Bath Iron Works in Maine. She arrived at Yokosuka Naval Base in Yokosuka, Japan as part of the US Navy’s Forward Deployed Naval Forces in July 2007, and is now permanently homeported there. The USS McCampbell maintains on board an active VBSS team to conduct anti piracy, anti-smuggling, and anti-terrorist operations. The ship was an active participant in IMDEX, and the VBSS team was a centerpiece in the multilateral training effort held in conjunction with the exposition. McCampbell is attached to Destroyer Squadron 15.
