DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

The ship and her legacy

With state-of-the-art technology, an arsenal of advanced weapons, super-stealth capabilities and a ground-breaking design, USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) is the lead ship of the most advanced destroyer class in the world.  At 610 feet long and 80 feet wide, the Zumwalt is about 100 feet longer and 20 feet wider than ships in the Navy's current fleet of Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.  More infomation at The ship

The ship is named for Elmo "Bud" Zumwalt Jr., the Navy's youngest Chief of Naval Operations and one of the most influential Sailors of the 20th Century. He radically changed the face of the Navy as both a surface warrior and a social reformer.  Read more at The legacy  

Watch USS Zumwalt in action!

Well I got a drive by of it yesterday. How I really wanted a close up. Like walk the pier close up. You know the saying loose lips sink ship. Well that ship will never sink with the daughter on it. Lol! That's why her security clearance is so high.

I can only imagine how proud you are of her!  It's especially significant given Admiral Zumwalt's legacy of initiatives known as "Z-grams" when he was Chief of Naval Operations.  One that became a milestone for equality in the Navy is Z-116: "Equal Rights and Opportunities for Women in the Navy." 

Your daughter is very special indeed for being selected for the Big Z!

The Change of Command ceremony took place in San Diego on Tuesday.  Very impressive, and the remarks were inspiring and from the heart  :)  USS Zumwalt Holds Change of Command Ceremony (from dvidshub.net)
