Fate
USS Cushing operated out of Yokosuka in Japan for the last several years of her career. Cushing was the last Spruance class ship to remain in active service, until decommissioned and stricken from the Navy list on 21 September 2005. GlobalSecurity.org showed the ship listed for grant transfer to Turkey. Ex-Cushing was sunk as a target during RIMPAC 2008 along with David R. Ray, Fletcher and Horne.
