Zitat:Stealth destroyer Zumwalt sets off on voyage to new homeporthttps://www.navytimes.com/articles/steal...w-homeport
NORFOLK, Va. — With less than a week in the fleet, the Navy’s deadliest destroyer left Norfolk on Thursday for its eventual homeport. The voyage to san Diego is expected to take two months, because the crew has a lot of work to do on the way. [...]
Zumwalt entered Norfolk on Sept. 15 where she prepared for commissioning — a new coat of paint on both sides of the ship, which occupied the crew in the weeks leading up to her commissioning on Oct. 15 in Baltimore, Md. as part of the fleet week celebration. Zumwalt was originally slated to operate from Norfolk to spend more time training at sea, officials told Navy Times when the ship arrived last month. But those plans were scuttled after a mechanical problem that needed fixing.
