USS Stout (DDG-55) is the sixth Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer. Built by Ingalls Shipbuilding, she was commissioned on 13 August 1994.
Stout was named for Rear Admiral Herald F. Stout (1903–1987), who distinguished himself as the Commanding Officer of the destroyer USS Claxton during World War II. Then-Commander Stout aided his task force in sinking five heavily armed, enemy warships to establish a beachhead on Bougainvillea Island.
Stout is homeported in Norfolk, Virginia.
