USS John Paul Jones (DDG-53)

USS John Paul Jones (DDG-53) is the third Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer and the first ship of the class homeported on the west coast. She is named after American Revolutionary War naval captain John Paul Jones and the second ship to be so named. She was built at Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine. The ship is currently part of Destroyer Squadron 23, and administratively reports to Commander, Naval Surface Forces Pacific.

The ship was featured prominently in the 2012 film Battleship. After the sinking of two other destroyers, including sister ship Sampson, she fought alone against the hostile alien fleet. She was later sunk in combat due to severe damage after being specifically targeted by the alien mothership because of the damage she had done to their fleet.

John Paul Jones appeared in 2034: A Novel of the Next World War by Elliot Ackerman and James G. Stavridis. The ship is ambushed and nearly sunk by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy in the South China Sea.

The ship also appeared in Tom Clancy's Executive Orders.
