Cmdr. Thomas Schultz, commanding officer of the guided-missile destroyer Pre-Commissioning Unit Michael Murphy (DDG 112), and Maureen Murphy, ship sponsor and mother of the ship's namesake, present Duncan L. Niederauer, chief executive officer of the New York Stock Exchange, with a memento during a breakfast hosted by the NYSE. The ship and its crew are in New York preparing for the ship's commissioning ceremony Oct. 6. The new destroyer honors the late Lt. (SEAL) Michael P. Murphy, a New York native who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in combat as leader of a four-man reconnaissance team in Afghanistan. Murphy was the first person to be awarded the medal for actions in Afghanistan, and the first member of the U.S. Navy to receive the award since the Vietnam War.
