Did she get to the dock under her own power?

That light navy grey really does blend in visually in overcast cloudy conditions. Would probably stick out like a light in the sun. And I know this is about radar visability not eye ball visability. Just say'in.

Yeah; and hull 3 may get a rail gun instead of the AGS. Wonder what that will cost.

They suffer from broken gears.
Is this a reliable technology? I just think these are disasters so far.

No doubt the Navy is embarrassed by the DDG-1000 program's stumbles, but is it not ever thus with innovative technologies? I'm not sure how easily avoidable those troubles ought to have been, but I am sure there will be more troubles, and that the Navy will work through and learn from them.
That's the price of innovation, and innovation is essential to a Navy that is out on the cutting edge, which I think the United States must maintain.

If you want to be at the head of the pack experiencing some failures is going to be an obvious event unles one gets lucky. I'm glad our Navy is having experiences like this because if it wer'nt we would'nt be at the head of the pack.

Here's a picture of the Zumwalt on her way home taken the day after she was commissioned in Baltimore, She passed within 200 yards of us approaching the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. We were idling just outside of the marked channel. The Coasties paid us a visit.

They were out today. Saw them on radar, but when I tried to take a photo; nothing... Hmm.
