NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) - The USS Fort McHenry, USS Carr and USS McFaul are scheduled to return to port during the next few days.

McHenry will be returning to Virginia Beach Friday, Nov. 30. Guided missile destroyer McFaul and guided missile frigate Carr will be returning to Naval Station Norfolk Monday, Dec. 2 and Dec. 3, respectively.

The crew of McHenry spent five months deployed in the Eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean and Black seas, responding to the Libya crisis in September.

Carr will be returning from its last deployment. The crew assisted two vessels in distress and supported Operation Martillo, a partner nation mission targeting Central American isthmus trafficking routes. The crew interceded and disrupted cocaine operations.
