After reading the first section of this article, I'm sure of one thing: Somewhere at Naval Personnel Center, there's somebody responsible for assignments that's greatly anticipating the completion of the Ford-class USS Enterprise and is salivating at the thought of transferring the Zumwalt's captain for her maiden voyage.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - I don't know if there would be some protective device possible, or if plan B is to break out the cutlasses and oars.

There is this much mentioned:
"Each EME has its own shock and vibration damping, power protection, water cooling systems, and electromagnetic shielding to prevent interference from the ship's radar and other big radio frequency emitters."
There may be much more "electromagnetic shielding" that protects against far more than "interference from the ship's radar and other big radio frequency emitters", but they are not saying. I don't know if they can prevent hacking, or if there is any shielding possible against EMP.
