USS Russell
  
Commanding Officer Commander James W. Kilby
The primary mission of USS RUSSELL (DDG-59) is to destroy enemy aircraft, missiles, submarines, surface ships, and land targets in order to prevent the employment of such forces against U.S. forces. RUSSELL will normally be assigned to a carrier battle group. She will bring significant capabilities to the battle force,carrying the latest technology in all areas of modern warfare.
 


The ship's combat system, better known as the "AEGIS" Combat system, is the backbone of her war fighting capability. It takes a total team effort, from every corner of the ship to fully employ our systems in combat. The RUSSELL has been designed to defeat simultaneous attacks involving large numbers of enemy surface ships, submarines, aircraft, and missiles. Our mission is to fight, survive, win, and fight again!
