USS Truxtun stops in Boston for weekend visit
It’s hard to miss the USS Truxtun, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer now tied up at Black Falcon Terminal for a weekend visit.
The public is invited to tour the Truxtun from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, immersing themselves in its maritime history and heritage. She was named for Commodore Thomas Truxtun, one of the first six Navy commanders appointed by George Washington, and was an active participant in the Mexican–American War.
