EVERETT, Wash. – The guided-missile frigate Ingraham and a crew of about 200 sailors return to their home port at Everett on Thursday for the last time.
The Ingraham will be decommissioned Nov. 12, according to Navy officials.
Its final mission was as part of a multinational force fighting illegal drug trafficking in Central American waters.
The 453-foot Ingraham was commissioned in California in 1989 and made its home port at Naval Station Everett in 1994.
The Ingraham operated with the carrier Carl Vinson task force during the Iraq War. In addition to the Persian Gulf, deployments also took it to the Mediterranean.
