Had to google "Zumwalt", I thought what kind of a name is that?......

"Zumwalt is named after Elmo Russell Zumwalt, Jr., who was an American naval officer and the youngest man to serve as the Chief of Naval Operations.[9] As an admiral and later the 19th Chief of Naval Operations, Zumwalt played a major role in U.S. military history, especially during the Vietnam War.[9] A highly decorated war veteran, Zumwalt reformed the U.S. Navy's personnel policies in an effort to improve enlisted life and ease racial tensions.[9] After he retired from a 32-year naval career, he launched an unsuccessful campaign for the United States Senate.[9]"

.....and yes, Cpt Nemo wouldn't look out of place on the bridge Vern.
