Holy ship!
It’s Fleet Week in Portland, and the Navy brought some cool boats! USS Michael Monsoor - Zumwalt-class Guided Missile Destroyer, and the USS Coronado - Independence-class littoral combat ship.

I wonder why the one is painted white? Is it primarily in Arctic oceans?

God Bless our US Navy and Military Oregon needs some cleanup on EVERY isle :)

Portland.
On the River?
That’s not the Williamette, is it?

Columbia maybe? 🤷‍♀️

Yes, the Willamette - The Steele Bridge on Glisan St.

Last of Its Kind

The U.S. Navy’s third and final Zumwalt-class ship, the USS Lyndon B. Johnson, will soon have its combat system activated after completing basic sea trials.

Useless Guns, But Lots of Electricity

One of the most important components of the Navy’s Zumwalt-class is the ship’s power generation system, which, compared to other ships, generates huge amounts of electricity. The emphasis on electrical power output, in theory, gives the Zumwalt’s the flexibility to power a variety of weapon systems in the future. For example, one proposed weapon that would have been a first on an active-duty U.S. Navy warship was an electromagnetic rail gun, a very energy-intensive electrically-powered weapon. However, the weapon was ultimately not incorporated into the ship.
