On March 8, Guided-missile destroyer USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) departed San Diego for its first operational underway. The US military said that this move “demonstrates the U.S. Navy’s commitment to advancing the lethality of its surface combatants by integrating cutting-edge technologies in Zumwalt’s combat systems, weapons, and engineering plants.”
“Zumwalt is designed for stealth,” Capt. Andrew Carlson, Zumwalt’s commanding officer, stressed. “This aids her role as a multi-mission surface combatant and improves the fleet commander’s options for delivery of naval combat power to meet the Navy’s emergent mission requirements.”

USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) is under operational control of US 3rd Fleet. This fleet leads naval forces in the Pacific and coordinates with US 7th Fleet in operations for the entire Pacific theater.

Its on its way to Venezuela perhaps ?
It’s in the Pacific Ocean, so on its way to sink some illegal Chinese islands. Operation Tomahawk Maduro will be a 4th Fleet task.
It might even be hiding in a Dry Dock :)
Its not from Murmansk, where the drydock wasnt dry.
Norway don’t bother making dry docks, they just beach where they can.
So far the only proven use of stealth has been to make it invisible to fiscal accounting. Nobody knows any more how much these programs costs. And I reckon not even the ones who did the obfuscating know any more.
prime crap made in usa. hahahaha – and it set the taxpayers back exactly yow much, this, the sea’s f35-
It look like it was made of Lego.
It is.
Its a part of the Danish Military complex system. When people play fx Lego, they dont fight.
Next Year we wil parashute many tons of Lego down to the most agressive parts of the world and send more movies too :)
The US dramboos DRB-3. This is another crap like boing airline and f35 from US. LOL
i hope they had the intelligence to put anti-collision sensors and automatic shout down if the boats sensors tells her she is going to beach.
