 As we celebrate the commissioning of USS Zumwalt, CNO John Richardson explains the role the ship plays in today's maritime environment. I will tell you, it is not a day of celebration for everybody. There are those who threaten our way of life and our values. To them, this day is not a celebration. This day is their worst nightmare. This ship is ready to move us forward, to fend our nation for decades to come. That crew, they're more than ready. They've been waiting for this day for years to enter the fleet and start on their mission. Team, this day has come. The fleet is ready. We're waiting for you to take care and do the job. Thank you all very much, and God bless the United States Navy, and God bless America.
