In a statement released on the morning of May 7, the CENTCOM confirmed that Iranian forces had launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats” at the USS 'Truxtun (DDG-103)', USS 'Rafael Peralta (DDG-115)' (MMSI: 368926053) and the USS 'Mason (DDG-87)', whiles the warships transited the Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf of Oman. The U.S. military said no American vessels were hit. Three U.S. Navy destroyers came under missile, drone and small-boat attack while transiting the on Thursday, according to U.S. Central Command. The U.S. forces intercepted the Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes,” according to CENTCOM, while American forces targeted Iranian missile and drone launch sites, command-and-control facilities, and intelligence and surveillance nodes involved in the attack.
US destroyers attacked by Iran
The 'USS Truxtun' (MMSI: 303882000) and USS 'Mason' have successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz on May 4, 2026. The destroyers reached the relative safety of the Arabian Gulf, but only after coming under fire, as was confirmed by CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper. Iran had launched missiles and drones at the warships, and it dispatched small craft to interfere with the transit. Other air defense assets were on hand to engage and defeat the threats, and half a dozen small boats were destroyed, according to Adm. Cooper. Neither U.S. warship was struck, but the intensity of the reported barrage was not likely to provide reassurance to shipping, especially as two U.S.-flagged merchant vessels came under fire in the course of the first day of operation. Foreign-flagged traffic near the waterway also came under fire, even though it is unclear if the vessels selected for attacks had any connection to the U.S.-operated "Project Freedom" transit scheme. Affected were the 'HMM Namu', which sustained an explosion and fire in the engine room on the evening, and the ADNOC-operated tanker 'Barakah', which was hit by two drones off the coast of Oman during the attempt to transit the Strait of Hormuz transit.
Destroyer to be repaired in Norfolg, Virginia
The US Navy has awarded a major maintenance and modernisation contract for the USS ÄTruxtun (DDG 103)', after the vessel was involved in a collision during a refueling operation at sea with the combat support ship USNS 'Supply (T-AOE 6)', to the General Dynamics’ subsidiary, General Dynamics NASSCO-Norfolk, which has secured a $183.2 million firm-fixed-price contract covering the ship’s Fiscal Year 2026 Depot Modernisation Period. The work included a combination of maintenance, repair, and capability upgrades aimed at sustaining the destroyer’s operational readiness. The contract contained additional options which, if exercised, would bring the total value to approximately $183.6 million. All work was to be carried out in Norfolk, Virginia, with completion scheduled for April 2028. The contract was issued by Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA(, which oversees shipbuilding, maintenance, and modernisation programs across the fleet. The collision was currently under investigation.
