SAN DIEGO (Jan. 26, 2019) The quartermaster for the Navy’s newest Zumwalt-class destroyer, USS Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001), hoists the ship’s pennant and the national ensign for the first time during the ship’s commissioning ceremony. It is the first Navy combat ship named for fallen Master-at-Arms 2nd Class (SEAL) Michael Monsoor, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions while serving in Ramadi, Iraq, in 2006.
