During the event, the ship hosted officials from FSM for a tour and discussion with Michael Murphy's senior leadership. Guests included government officials from the FSM Department of Foreign Affairs and the Pohnpei State Department of Emergency Management. U.S. and Australian ambassadors to FSM were also in attendance. Additionally, 35 Michael Murphy crew members went ashore for a community service event, where they played softball with the local residents.

The ship made port visits to Guam and the Philippines before beginning an Oceania Maritime Security Initiative (OMSI) patrol in March. The Arleigh Burke-class guide-missile destroyer was commissioned in 2012 and is named after former U.S. Navy SEAL Lt. Michael P. Murphy.
