The first Fleet Week was held in San Diego, California, during the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition.
With a program of $22.5 billion you get the “21st Century Destroyer”. Commissioned on October 15, 2016, the Navy debuts the futuristic USS Zumwalt, a one of a kind stealth marvel with the low radar profile. Can less really be more?
