NORFOLK, Va. (WVEC) — Naval officials report the USS McFaul (DDG 74) will make landfall Monday morning, after completing an eight-month deployment.

The McFaul is expected to return to its Naval Station Norfolk homeport by 9 a.m.

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer was on an independent deployment to the U.S. 4th, 5th and 6th Fleet areas of responsibility, which includes the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea.

Later this week, the aircraft carrier USS George Washington will also arrive in Norfolk, returning from deployment in Japan.
