Zumwalt makes an about-face back to San Diego for ‘maintenance’

The guided-missile destroyer Zumwalt made a quick turnaround to its home port in San Diego last week, just a day after getting underway, stymied by an undisclosed maintenance issue.

“We expect the ship to resume its transit in the near future,” Cmdr. Arlo Abrahamson, a spokesperson for the Naval Surface Force, said in a statement to Navy Times. The destroyer, commissioned in 2016, left port Thursday only to return Friday.


The Zumwalt was heading to its new home port of Pascagoula, Mississippi, where Abrahamson said it will get “technology upgrades” including the Navy’s Conventional Prompt Strike hypersonic missile system.

“The upgrades will ensure Zumwalt remains one of the most technologically advanced and lethal ships in the U.S. Navy,” the spokesman said, while refusing to reveal details of the technical snafu that turned it around.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Another "work" in progress, so to speak? :whistle:
