USS Zumwalt breaks down in Panama Canal!

Why does that surprise you?
1) There aren't many people who remember, or want to remember, the mess that was the U.S. Navy of the late sixties and early seventies, and;
2) Most of the ones who might remember Zumwalt's ALNAV messages, dubbed Z-Grams, were intimately connected with the Great Gray Canoe Club ... and I did not/do not remember you mentioning such a connection, so;
3) A bit of a surprise, very much akin to a civilian hearing a couple of old salts discussing the USS Zippo and instantly twigging to the fact the ship being discussed is actually the USS Forrestal.
