The tweet read, “Kudos to Kelechi Ndukwe on his new role as commander of a US Navy Guided Missile Destroyer. The University of Notre Dame and the US Naval War College alumnus becomes the first Nigerian-American captain of a US Navy ship. Congratulations!”
Last Thursday, Ndukwe, who is from South-East Nigeria, took over as the commanding officer of USS Halsey (DDG-97), an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer.
Ndukwe, before now, served as the second-in-command to DeVere J. Crooks who had commanded the ship since November 2019.
As the first Nigerian-American to command the ship, the new role is the zenith of his 18-year career in the US navy which started with him working as an auxiliaries officer in 2003, a year after obtaining a master’s degree in national security and strategy studies from the US Naval War College.
