The US Navy destroyer USS Kidd was spotted, first by The War Zone, flying the skull and crossbones as it returned to its homeport this week.

The Kidd is named after an admiral who was killed at Pearl Harbor, but the infamous pirate Captain Kidd has long been its mascot.

Three ships have been named Kidd, and they have been the only US Navy ships authorized to fly the Jolly Roger.
