The guided-missile destroyer Zumwalt, commanded by Capt. James A. Kirk, will hold its commissioning ceremony Oct. 15 during the inaugural Maryland Fleet Week.
DDG 1000 is the lead ship of a class of next-generation multi-mission surface combatants and is named for Adm. Elmo R. Zumwalt, former chief of naval operations.
