Gary is homeported at Naval Station San Diego, CA since July 2007, when the USS McCampbell replaced her at Yokosuka Naval Base in Yokosuka, Japan. She is part of Destroyer Squadron 7. On 9 February 2007 Gary docked at the Cambodian port of Sihanoukville. It is the first time since the Vietnam War that an American warship has docked in Cambodia. Gary has an active VBSS team onboard to facilitate its new homeport with Maritime Interdiction Operations, anti-drug, and anti-smuggling missions.
