Update –

In the US Navy’s 2024 proposed budget, presented in 2023, Shiloh was proposed for retirement. Navy Undersecretary Erik Raven stated that this was due to the ship’s “material condition, life remaining, cost, … time to upgrade … and the warfighting value.”[12]

September 2023, USS Shiloh departs Yokosuka, Japan after 17 years of forward-deployed service. She will be homeported in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.[
