The guided missile destroyer, equipped with the Navy's Aegis combat weapons system, will be at Aloha Tower Marketplace Pier 9.

The ship is named in honor of Rear Adm. Richard H. O'Kane (1911-1994), who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his attacks on two Japanese convoys while in command of the World War II submarine Tang in 1944. After his submarine was sunk, O'Kane spent the war in captivity.
