Navy's high-tech destroyer Zumwalt arrives Thursday - The San Diego Union-Tribune
The Navy’s $4 billion guided-missile destroyer Zumwalt is slated to dock in San Diego on Thursday morning, following a slew of mechanical glitches that sidelined it for weeks in Virginia and Panama.
The most expensive and revolutionary destroyer ever built, the Zumwalt will homeport at the San Diego Naval Base.
Scheduled to undergo further modifications and testing, the Navy predicts it will be fully prepped for overseas deployments within a year.

The arrival will come a little more than two weeks after the $4.4 billion ship's propulsion system broke down in the Panama Canal. The 610-foot- long vessel had to pull into port in Panama to make repairs before continuing the voyage to San Diego, which will serve as its home port.
Commissioned in October in Baltimore, the Zumwalt has an angular appearance vastly different from current destroyers of the Arleigh Burke class in order to lower its radar signature. Navy officials said it was the "lead ship of a class of next-generation multimission destroyers."
The destroyer will be capable of performing a range of deterrence, power projection, sea control, and command and control missions while allowing the Navy to evolve with new systems and missions, Navy officials said.
