USS McCampbell (DDG-85) is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in the United States Navy, named for Captain David McCampbell (1910–1996), the Navy's leading ace in World War II.
On March 26, 2006, McCampbell collided with a merchant vessel about 30 miles off the coast of Iraq. Both ships sustained damage to their bows, but both remained seaworthy. The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
She replaced USS Gary (FFG-51) in Yokosuka, Japan, as part of the US Navy's Forward Deployed Naval Forces in July 2007, and is now permanently homeported there.
