The 11th member of the Forrest Sherman Class of Destroyers, USS Mullinnix commissioned into US Navy service in 1958 and served with the Atlantic Fleet for her entire life, seeing action in the Cuban Missile Crisis as well as Vietnam.
She decommissioned in 1983 and was laid up in the James River Reserve Fleet until 1990 when she was withdrawn and prepared for use as a target ship. USS Mullinnix met her end at this location on August 22, 1992 as a target for air and ship launched missiles.
