BATH, Maine -- Bath Iron Works erected the composite deckhouse for Zumwalt (DDG 1000), the U.S. Navy's next generation destroyer. The 900-ton deckhouse module, built in Gulfport, Miss., by Ingalls Shipbuilding, was shipped by barge to Bath Iron Works for installation on the ship, which is under construction at the company's Bath shipyard. The 155-foot-long, 60-foot-high and 60-foot-wide module was lifted to a height of about 100 feet using four cranes. Bath Iron Works is part of General Dynamics.(Source: General Dynamics, 12/20/12)
