Christening of New Zumwalt-Class Guided Missile Destroyer, the Michael Monsoor
Christening of new Zumwalt-class Guided Missile Destroyer, the Michael Monsoor Gary Lehman, The Scuba Sports Club (photographs and text) On June 18, 2016 the Michael Monsoor (DDG-1001) was christened with great celebration at the General Dynamics / Bath Iron Works shipyard in Bath, Maine. The ship is named after Medal of Honor recipient US Navy Petty Officer and SEAL Michael Monsoor (posthumously-awarded), who was killed in the line of duty selflessly protecting his comrades by throwing himself on an insurgent’s hand grenade to save them in Iraq in 2006. The ship’s sponsor was his mother, Sally Monsoor. She spoke with such warmth, love, affection and respect about her son, receiving a standing ovation from all assembled. Michael Monsoor’s sister and two sisters-in-law were the Matrons of Honor. All were escorted to the ship’s bow for the christening by five members of Monsoor’s SEAL team. Sally Monsoor then broke the champagne against the bow with a great display of foam and streamers. The American flag and US Navy Color Guard was provided by the USS Constitution. (Thus the span of time represented: from the oldest commissioned warship in the world – and the only commissioned US Navy ship in the Fleet to have sunk an enemy vessel - to the newest and most ‘high tech’ ship in the fleet!) The principal speaker was Vice Admiral Joseph Maguire, president and CEO of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Undersecretary of the Navy Janine Davidson also participated in the christening. The event was attended by over 1,000 members of the public, the executive team and personnel of General Dynamics/BIW, and Maine’s Senators and local political representatives. -

By Dr. Norbert Doerry 1989
The Evolution of the 2014 - Electric Warship by Dr. Norbert Doerry 1989 he end of the Cold War marked the beginning of a multi-decade evolution of the surface combatant into the Electric Warship. At ASNE Day 1989, Dr. Cy Krolick and CAPT Clark (Corky) Graham presented the concept of Technology Clusters to advocate the synergistic research and development of surface combatant technology. Technology Clusters promised to Tenable concurrent systems engineering and component R&D, provide programmatic stability, and decrease fleet introduction time. The first cluster, Cluster A, consisted of integrated electric drive, advanced propulsor system, ICR gas turbine, integrated electrical distribution system with pulse power, machinery monitoring and control, advanced auxiliary system, and low observability/ loiter power system. The foundational Cluster A would be an enabler for the introduction other clusters, most notably, Cluster E, Electromagnetic Pulse Power. Over the next several decades, these technologies would mature, be incrementally introduced into ship designs, and culminate in the delivery of the first modern electric warship to the U.S. Navy that featured an Integrated Power System (IPS), USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000). Modern electric power technology has also been introduced into auxiliary ships (T-AKE 1 class and MLP 1 class), amphibious warship ships (LPD 17, LHD 8 and LHA 5 class), aircraft carriers, submarines, and into DDG 51 flight upgrades. Furthermore, directed energy weapons such as the Laser Weapon System (LaWS) are beginning to be fielded, and the Electromagnetic Railgun (EMRG) is currently transitioning from an Innovative Naval Prototype (INP) into a weapon system technology development program. High power radar, such as the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR), have also been enabled by increased electric power availability from electric warship technology. -
Navy's Futuristic-Looking USS Zumwalt Arrives in Homeport 8 December 2016

All rights reserved. transit that included some hiccups, such as a high- profile breakdown in the Panama Canal. The USS Zumwalt arrived in San Diego to a welcoming ceremony that included the commander of naval surface forces, Vice Adm. Tom Rowden. The ship has a crew of 147 officers and sailors, and its commanding officer is Capt. James Kirk. "We have looked forward to pulling into San Diego for a long time," Kirk said. The Zumwalt departed Maine shipbuilder Bath Iron Works in September before being commissioned into service in Baltimore in October. It made several additional port calls en route to its final destination. During the trip, the first-in-class ship was sidelined for repairs a couple of times, including after it lost propulsion in the Panama Canal, necessitating a tow and an extended stay for repairs. In San Diego, the crew and contractors will begin installation of combat systems and further testing and evaluation. The 610-foot-long warship features new technology including an electric power plant that drives it, an inward-sloping tumblehome hull, a composite deckhouse that hides sensors and an angular shape to minimize its radar signature. The futuristic-looking ship weighs in at nearly 15,000 tons, about 50 percent heavier than current destroyers. But the crew size is half of the 300 personnel of other destroyers, thanks to advanced automation. -
