The Navy’s New Stealth Destroyer Broke Down in the Panama Canal

The US Navy’s newest destroyer broke down while transiting the Panama Canal, colliding with the Canal lock walls and forcing the $4 billion dollar ship to resort to a tow from a tugboat. The USS Zumwalt was towed to a former U.S. naval station in Panama where it will undergo emergency repairs. This is just months after a similar incident in September.

The Name “zumwalt” just seems like the type of name a doomed ship would be named....or to be featured in a movie comedy about a misfit navy ship with a misfit crew!
