RUSSIA’S NEWEST NUCLEAR SUBMARINE ARRIVES IN PACIFIC OCEAN

[DFW]

1. I wonder if the timing is a coincidence

The USS Zumwalt was christened on April 12, 2014 and will be commissioned in exactly 2 weeks (October 15th) in Baltimore. It will be the most modern destroyer afloat, and was/is scheduled to be deployed in the western Pacific.

The ship's captain is (I am not making this up) Captain James Kirk. At the christening, the best speech was given by Senator Angus King of Maine (where the ship was built), who said his most fervent wish was that the ship's impressive firepower would never be used in action, but would only serve as a deterrent.
