USS Barry (DDG-52) is a Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, commissioned in 1992. Built by Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Barry is homeported in Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. Several improvements over USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) exist on this ship and all following Arleigh Burke class destroyers. They include the ability to refuel a helicopter and several other small improvements.
Barry has received many awards, including the Battenburg Cup for the years 1994, 1996, and 1998, earning her the nickname "Battenburg Barry" in the late 1990s. She has also been awarded the Battle E award 4 times, and received the Golden Anchor and Silver Anchor Awards for retention.
In 2004, Barry participated at the annual Fleet Week in New York City.
