Summary: The US Navy officially commissioned the USS Zumwalt on October 15th, which is their largest and most technologically advanced destroyer. The Zumwalt has sharp angels and concealed weaponry behind flat services. Its designed so that it is 50 times harder to spot than ordinary destroyers. Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr., commander of the US Pacific Command, said "If Batman had a ship it would be the USS Zumwalt". Secretary of the navy Ray Mabus, said "It dosent look like other ships and it does things other ships can not do". For instance it draws carbon dioxide and hydrogen from sea water and turns it into fuel. Also this ship's electrical power system generates enough power to operate all of its systems and can still generate enough electricity to power a small town. With this extra power it will be able to accommodate weapons of the future. This ship can also fire lager and more advanced land attack and anti-ship missiles than its predecessors. The navy has two more ships under construction like the USS Zumwalt.
