USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer in the United States Navy.
Named for Donald Cook, a Vietnam War prisoner of war who died in captivity, the destroyer was commissioned in 1998. It was one of the first U.S. warships to come to the aid of USS Cole after it was damaged by suicide bombers on 12 October 2000. In 2003, the ship fired Tomahawk missiles during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
On 16 February 2012, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced Donald Cook will be one of four ships to be homeported at Naval Station Rota, Spain. It was announced in January 2014 that the ship would arrive there in mid-February 2014. In Rota she forms part of Destroyer Squadron 60.
On 24 February 2012, Donald Cook was awarded the 2011 Battle Efficiency "E" award.

Well if a DC-10 fell on your head
And you're laying on the ground all messy and dead
Or a mack truck ran over you
Or you suddenly died in your Sunday pew!
CHORUS
Do you know where you're gonna go!
Do you know where you're gonna go!
Do you know where you're gonna go!
It could happen any day It could happen anywhere
It could happen while you're napping in your easy chair
It could happen at home It could happen at school
It could happen while your rappin like a rappin fool
REPEAT CHORUS
Your head is hurting and you take a pill
You truthfully think its Advil
But what you don't know is your girlfriend lied
And she just gave you cyanide!
REPEAT CHORUS
You better believe there'll be a price
It was paid in full by Jesus Christ!
(He died for you)
