Stand by for the same kind of issues with our Zumwalt class.
Sometime in the ‘80s I was sitting on the beach at Virginia’s First Landing State Park which looks out toward Thimble Shoals where all of the ship traffic leaving Norfolk and Newport News going to the Atlantic has to pass. I saw a beautiful new warship go by with a sharp aggressive bow. It was an impressive sight. A few hours later, I saw the same ship being towed back the other way, looking far less impressive.
You did see the story about the Zumwalt being towed into a Chinese controlled port for emergency repairs, didn't you?
