USS ZUMWALT (DDG 1000) seeking high-caliber Sailors for New Construction

It is time to begin manning USS ZUMWALT (DDG 1000) and we are looking for our Navy's best and brightest talent to join the team that will set the watch, man the rails. The first wave of crewmembers will begin arriving in June 2013 and will continue arriving through the summer of 2014.  For those potentially reporting in the early manning phases – NOW is the time for action, decision and dialogue with your detailer!

ZUMWALT will be 600 feet long and 80 feet wide and with a displacement of approximately 14,564 tons.  Her propulsion system will drive it to speeds in excess of 30 knots, and she will accommodate a crew size of 130 Sailors.  She will use a gas-turbine propulsion plant and Integrated Power System. ZUMWALT will make use of the latest technology and weapon systems. This will be no ordinary ship and that's why we seek EXTRAORDINARY Sailors to be a part of something special.  

But for all the capability of the ship, the difference-maker will be our PEOPLE!  So as you consider your next assignment, please consider joining the crew of ZUMWALT.  We promise you that you will enjoy a challenging and fulfilling tour, which will inevitably enhance your career for years to come.
