The Gravely (DDG 107) is the 57-th Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer in the United States Navy. Gravely is named after the late Vice Adm. Samuel L. Gravely Jr. He was the first African American in the U.S. Navy to be commissioned an officer, the first African American to command a warship (USS Theodore E. Chandler); to command a major warship (USS Jouett); to achieve flag rank and eventually vice admiral; and to command a numbered fleet (3rd).

July 26, 2010 The U.S. Navy officially accepted delivery of the future USS Gravely from Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding during a ceremony in Pascagoula, Miss.

Due to the oil spill currently affecting the Gulf of Mexico, the trials were slightly modified, with the ship conducting pierside tests and inspections by the Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV), followed by a 36-hour underway period to assess the ship's main propulsion, auxiliary, steering, damage control equipment, navigation systems, and deck equipment as well as overall completeness.

November 20, USS Gravely was commissioned during an 11 a.m. EST ceremony in Wilmington, N.C.

November 24, DDG 107 arrived in Norfolk Naval Station where will be homeported.

February 13, 2011 USS Gravely experienced structural damage to the mast mounted antenna during routine operations off the northern Florida coast. No personnel were injured during the incident. The ship pulled into Mayport Naval Station on Feb. 14 for damage assessment.
