Description

USS Bainbridge (DDG-96) (US Navy DEVGRU / SEAL Team 6 Snipers and Somalian Pirates) Navy Challenge Coin Condition : Used, and in good shape. Please see pictures. This coin is 1 1/2 inches in diameter. USS Bainbridge (DDG-96) is an Arleigh Burke -class guided missile destroyer in the United States Navy . She is the fifth ship to carry that name, and the 46th destroyer of a planned 75-ship class. Bainbridge is named in honor of Commodore William Bainbridge , who as commander of the frigate USS Constitution distinguished himself in the War of 1812 when he and his crew captured HMS Java , a 38-gun fifth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy . Since her commissioning in 2005, Bainbridge has been active in the Mediterranean Sea , but most of the attention she has garnered has been as a result of the failed hijacking attempt of the U.S.-flagged freighter MV Maersk Alabama by Somali pirates in April, 2009, which ended with the release of the vessel's Master, Captain Richard Phillips , on 12 April 2009. After crewmen of the captured cargo vessel managed to retake the ship, the pirates retreated, taking the ship's Master hostage in a lifeboat . Bainbridge , Halyburton , and Boxer shadowed the pirates, and with FBI assistance attempted negotiations for the safe return of the captive captain until U.S. Navy SEAL snipers resolved the situation with deadly force. The story of this incident was turned into the 2013 motion picture titled Captain Phillips , starring Tom Hanks . [ 2 ] Bainbridge was portrayed by sister ship Truxtun [ 3 ] (REF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Bainbridge_(DDG-96 ) ) NOTE: Never personally given any of the coins.

  1. Always a great experience with this seller. The coins are of high quality, in new condition, great appearance and well packaged for transit. Overall an excellent value. This seller is always highly responsive and goes out of his way to provide the best possible service. He always offers the option of Priority Mail for a slightly higher shipping cost and combines shipping when two or more orders are placed in close proximity to each other and refunds the excess postage paid.

  2. Well made and solid challenge coin. New in case, and well worth the cost. Coin is very detailed and beautiful. However what really impressed me was the customer service! After an honest mistake of sending the wrong coin, the vendor answered my email same day, and promptly came up with a resolution to make it right, by putting the correct coin in the mail, no fuss. Definitely looking forward to doing business again, because this company can be trusted…
