1997 On April19, a destroyer serving on Staten Island in new york attracted national attention and response. Hundreds of senior military and political officials, including US President Bill Clinton, came to the scene to attend the service ceremony of the warship. This high-profile warship is the guided missile destroyer Sullivan, and Albert Sullivan's granddaughter Kelly Sullivan presided over the service ceremony that day.

The second warship named after "Sullivan" is the eighteenth of the Alibek guided missile destroyer, with the ship number DDG-68.

The Alli Burke-class destroyer equipped with phased array radar and Aegis combat system is by far the largest and most powerful destroyer in the world, with more weight and firepower than many cruisers.

Today, as the main warship of the international anti-piracy force, Sullivan is deployed in the Somali waters of the Gulf of Aden to carry out anti-piracy and escort missions.
