Christened, to be fleet-ready FY 2-016. There is a lot to like about the ship...
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-navy-christens-huge-3-billion-destroyer-ship-uss-zumwalt-that-appears-as-a-fishing-boat-on-enemy-radar-9257304.html
...aside the $3B price tag and the naming after a "reformer"...
...
I would have preferred recycling either Farragut or Fletcher than this, but, I'm not in the TPTB club...
And we'll see if two more of these budget-eaters actually get built...

And to update the great experiment...
Leaving Bath for the last time, headed to Commissioning and works ups prior to maiden deployment...
It's first Captain is (da da daa daaa!) James Kirk.
Seriously, check it out!
