About the Military Support Program
On June 3, 2003, the City of Laguna Niguel proudly “adopted” the USS McClusky, FFG 41 as part of the America Supporting Americans (ASA) Adopt a Ship Program.

The America Supporting Americans program was created to provide a mechanism whereby all branches of the United States Armed Services would be "adopted" by an American City. The purpose of the program is to bond Americans with servicemen and women who so bravely serve our country.

Three years later on February 7, 2006, the City “adopted” of the First Battalion of the Fourth Marine Regiment.
