The destroyer returned to naval base San Diego in April 2019 after working in the US 7th Fleet and 5th Fleet areas of operation.
In 2018, Decatur carried out a freedom of navigation operation in the South China Sea during which it was challenged by a Chinese destroyer that approached within 45 yards of Decatur’s bow.
Work under the contract is expected to be completed by October 2020.
The second contract awarded to the company, worth $84.6 million, is for the extended dry-docking selected restricted availability of USS Stethem (DDG 63).
Stethem arrived in San Diego in July after it spent 14 years forward-deployed to Japan . Stethem’s repairs are also expected to be completed by October 2020.
