The US Navy's most advanced destroyer may finally be turning over a new operational leaf after years of maintenance delays, budget headaches, and debates about its role in the fleet.

USS Zumwalt, the lead ship of the Zumwalt-class stealth destroyers, made a port call in Guam on September 19 and arrived in Japan on September 26. It departed Japan on October 8.

      Sailor Shortages and Lack of Training May Leave Navy Ships in Disrepair (GAO Podcast)

      (Podcast) Over the last 30 years, the Navy has assigned fewer personnel to ships. The goal was to reduce costs. But there have been concerns that fewer sailors has made it harder to maintain ships. And it could also have broader consequences for Navy readiness. We surveyed executive officers and visited some ships to learn more about this issue. GAO's Diana Maurer tells us more about this issue.

      The US Military Vowed to Safeguard its Arsenal. Why Do its Weapons Keep Going Missing?

      The posts on the white supremacy forum Iron March called for a paramilitary force that would operate as a “modern day SS.” As Iron March users traded messages, a vision for a new group began to emerge: buying land in remote, predominantly white areas of the United States; networking with locals; stockpiling weapons and supplies; and eventually starting a guerilla race war. “As time goes on in this conflict, we will expand our territories and slowly take back the land that is rightfully ours,” one of the users wrote. “This will be a ground war very reminiscent of Iraq.” That fit well with what Liam Collins—a New Jersey man who often went by the name Niezgoda online—had been thinking when he hatched the idea. Everyone in the group, he wrote, should spend time in the military. He was enlisting in the Marines, he said—“for the cause.”
