The USS Zumwalt, which has been testing for a year and has cost US taxpayers at least $4.4 billion, is rusting.
The rusty appearance of the Navy's super destroyer drew a lot of attention on social media, with various defense commentators expressing strong feelings about the ship's appearance and the Navy's 'running rust' practices.
Experts say that the occurrence of such corrosion and rust occurs when “ships that have been deployed for long periods, executing high tempo operations, not those that spend the vast majority of their time tied up to the pier at one of the Navy’s most well-equipped harbors,” writes Tyler Rogoway of The Drive.
