U.S.S. Wilmington

The U.S.S. Wilmington (CVN-85) is an aircraft carrier.
It made its debut appearance in NCIS Season 11, Monsters and Men (episode), where in February 2014 after being captured that a group of United States Navy SEALs made, Benham Parsa, a terrorist and the leader of the Brotherhood of Doubt was brought to the ship in the hope he would give up information concerning his network. However, Parsa later triggered a crisis when he faked being ill and used the opportunity to seize a gun that allowed him to kill two Navy officers before he barricaded himself and NSA analyst Eleanor Bishop into the cell he had been held in, Bishop later realizing it was a suicide mission. Despite Parsa's efforts, his morale was shaken when phone calls concerning his sister, Hayat were played into the cell, the extent of the calls unnerving Parsa so much that he attempted to shoot Bishop first, only for NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs who had managed to get into the area after Navy personnel had managed to cut through the three-inch steel door to shoot Parsa dead.
In 2022, Chief Petty Officer Melissa Fields served aboard the Wilmington as an EOD Technician specializing in pre-1950s ordnance. ("The Brat Pack (episode)")
