The USS Fort Worth, the city's namesake ship, is set to be decommissioned. Local supporters are planning a farewell celebration to honor the ship's service. The USS Fort Worth Support Committee is organizing a community event in San Diego, California, which will take place on July 28-29.

This event will be an opportunity for community and camaraderie as the ship sails toward decommissioning. Further details about the decommissioning and the celebration are available from the Fort Worth Business Press. The US Navy's decision to retire the ship is reportedly a cost-saving measure.
