The United States Navy’s newest and most technologically advanced destroyer USS Zumwalt arrived at her new homeport in San Diego last Thursday following a three-month journey from the Bath Iron Works shipyard in Bath, Maine. 

Along the way the ship suffered a few hiccups, including an engineering casualty during at sea testing September and a break down in the Panama Canal that took nearly two weeks to fix. Now on the West Coast, Zumwalt will begin installation of combat systems, testing and evaluation and operation integration with the fleet.

So without further ado here is the Zumwalt arriving in San Diego Bay on December 8:
