USS Preble which is based out of the Pearl Harbor will be the first American destroyer to be equipped with a high-energy laser.

Rear Adm. Ronald Boxall, the U.S Navy's director of surface warfare, told Defense News that the USS Preble will be fitted with HELIOS by 2021.

HELIOS stands for High Energy Laser and Integrated Optical-dazzler With Surveillance system.

High energy lasers are being seen as a way to defend against Chinese or Russian cruise missiles, drones swarms, and small surface crafts.

As per Defense News Boxall said,
"We are making the decision to put the laser on our (destroyers). It's going to start with Preble in 2021, and when we do that, that will now be her close-in weapon that we now continue to upgrade”

USS Preble is an Arleigh Burke Class guided missile destroyer of U.S Navy.
Arleigh Burke-class warships were designed as multi-mission destroyers and it is the 38th destroyer of the class.
She is named after Commodore Edward Preble, who served in the American Revolutionary War and was one of the early leaders of the US Navy.

It was built by Ingalls Shipbuilding and was commissioned on 9 November 2002.
