A post on a Maine political blog gives a concise, elegant recent history of the Navy's Zumwalt-class destroyer program // Navy
Why is the Navy building three Zumwalt-class destroyers? It’s a straightforward question with many answers, one that Galrahn has written about extensively and thoughtfully. But if, like many Scoop Deck readers, you arrived here from a Google search and you’re a relative newcomer to all the ship stuff, this post from Maine’s Behind Blue Lines blog is a great primer to get you current on the history of the ship and the tangle of politics that surrounds it.
Even if you’re up on the Zumwalt saga, it’s still worth taking this trip down advanced land-attack destroyer lane.
Why do you think the Navy is building three DDG 1000s?
