Admiral Zakullah is great Navy Chief man.

Very dynamic personality, and good sense of humor.

Perhaps just like subsurface fleet he should take major decisions for surface fleet expansion and modernization, especially the most ignored area is Naval SAMs of Medium altitude. As high altitude SAMs are so far not even available to PA.

He was my DO in the Naval Academy, and believe me, he doesn't have any sense of humour.
