What does it mean when a time of day is referred to as "Zulu"? Is that the name of a time zone?

Zulu time is the same thing as Greenwich Mean Time. If you are in California or any other area within the Pacific time zone then you add 7 hours to the local time (during daylight savings time) to figure out what GMT is. When it is standard time (i.e., not daylight savings time) you add 8 hours. To figure out what the local time is from GMT you subtract the appropriate number from GMT.
