To provide for the transfer of the decommissioned destroyer ex-U.S.S. Forrest Sherman (DD-931) to the USS Forrest Sherman DD-931 Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit organization under the laws of the State of Maryland.

H.R. 990 is a legislative proposal that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to transfer the decommissioned destroyer ex-U.S.S. Forrest Sherman to a Maryland-based nonprofit organization. Under this bill, the USS Forrest Sherman DD-931 Foundation would take ownership of the vessel provided they submit a satisfactory donation application. The practical impact of this transfer is to facilitate the preservation of the ship as a museum or memorial, allowing the public to engage with naval history without the federal government maintaining the costs of the decommissioned vessel.
