His department on the ship was mentioned too! lol I am excited for him. He is a SPY-1 Aegis radar technician on the USS Curtis Wilbur, DDG 54. Its a big deal because the Curtis Wilbur is hardly ever mentioned.

If the link does not work here is what was said:
"The ships -- three destroyers and one cruiser -- are capable of tracking and shooting down ballistic missiles using powerful Aegis radar systems aboard each vessel.
Two ships are in the Sea of Japan, the USS Curtis Wilbur and the USS Stethem, both guided-missile destroyers. Two other ships are on the Pacific Ocean side of Japan to monitor the missile if it flies over that nation. Those ships are the USS Shiloh, a guided-missile cruiser and the USS Fitzgerald, another guided-missile destroyer, the officials said."
