A Bath Iron Works (BIW) employee stands atop a section of the hull of USS Zumwalt, currently in construction at BIW as Ann Zumwalt, daughter of U.S. Navy Admiral Elmo "Bud" Zumwalt and ship's co-sponsor, speaks to the assembled crowd last Thursday afternoon before welding her initials into a plaque which will be placed on the keel of USS Zumwalt, named for her father, currently in production at BIW.
