Truxtun, DDG-103


We are staying in contact with the pre-commissioning unit of the new Truxtun to be commissioned to let you know of the progress towards commissioning in 2009. Please check the DDG-103 Page and Coming Events pages for the latest information.



Truxtun Association Future


With the soon to arrive U.S.S. Truxtun - DDG-103 we will need to change the logo currently being used by the Association. As fitting as it was for the nuclear powered Truxtun a new logo is needed in order to reflect the arrival of the newest Truxtun in the history of Thomas Truxtun and the ships honoring him.

Therefore, we are asking that you begin thinking of a new design that can be used for the Association. We hope to have all designs available on this site and presented at the reunion so we can vote on the best design.

The ship's crest that has been adopted by the DDG-103 is located on the page for the DDG-103 Truxtun. Please consider incorporating elements of it in your attempts at a new design for the Association.

Along with the logo change, we are looking to update the Association By-laws. The proposed changes are still being worked on by the current officers. They will be availble at check-in at the reunion so you will have plenty of time to look them over before the biennial meeting at the reunion.
