The USS Forrest Sherman (DDG-98) is a modern American missile destroyer, the keel of which was laid in 2003, launched in October 2004, and commissioned by the US Navy in 2006. The total length of the ship is 155.3 meters and a width of 20 meters. Full displacement reaches 9,200 tons and the maximum speed exceeds 30 knots. The destroyer is armed with: 2 VLS Mk. 41 - one 32-rail and one 64-rail, single 127 mm gun, two triple torpedo tubes or one 20 mm Vulcan Phalanx CIWS set. The ship can operate with two on-board helicopters, eg the Sikorsky MH-60R.

USS Forrest Sherman (DDG-98) is one of 65 active service destroyers belonging to the Arleigh Burke class. Units of this type were designed, were and are being built as multi-role destroyers, in which, however, special emphasis was placed on countering air targets. In the construction of these ships, the British experience from the Falklands war was used, and as a result, Kevlar armor was added to the most viable parts of ships of this class. At the same time, the Arleigh Burke-class ships have the revolutionary AEGIS network combat system, cooperating with the AN / SPY-1 radar, which provides them with unprecedented possibilities to control the airspace and counter air targets. This is the same system used on the Ticonderoga-class cruisers. One of the units of this class is the USS Forrest Sherman (DDG-98). The ship was built at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi. It was constructed in accordance with the Flight IIA standard, which means that compared to the Flight I standard, it has larger VLS launchers, the barrel of the 127 mm cannon has been extended, thanks to which its ballistic properties have improved and it has more modern electronic equipment. In addition, the USS Momsen sub-type has only one Vulcan Phalanx kit compared to two such kits mounted on standard vessels: Flight I, Flight II and the initial Flight IIA. USS Forrest Sherman, shortly after entering service, was assigned to the Atlantic Fleet, and made its first operational cruise in this ocean, as well as in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. In 2007, the unit held joint exercises with the Ukrainian fleet. In the same year, the ship took part in joint maneuvers with Israeli and Turkish units. USS Forrest Sherman remains in active service.
