USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) commissioning

BALTIMORE, MD (Sept. 15, 2016) The US Navy’s newest and most technologically advanced surface ship, USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) is commissioned in Baltimore. It is the first surface combatant to introduce the Integrated Fight Through Power (IFTP) system for power distribution with increased automation, quality, reliability and survivability. The ship also employs an innovative and highly survivable Integrated Power System (IPS) with unique architectural capabilities, including the provision of power to propulsion, ship’s service and combat systems. In addition to the ship’s stealth and advanced Vertical Launch System, DDG 1000 has two medium-range MK46, 30mm Close-in Gun Systems that provide robust rapid fire capability against hostile surface targets approaching the ship.
