The Web site you are citing contains dubious information in at least two 
respects.

First, as we have discussed earlier, GMT is _not_ a timezone, but a standard 
time.  This also applies to other standard times listed as “time zones”.

Second, although “Zulu” is probably related to the NATO Alphabet, because it 
is that alphabet’s word for spelling the letter “Z”, it could be 
coincidental that it is also the time at the “zero meridian”.  The military 
time zones are labeled eastwards with letters, starting with UTC+1 to 
receive the letter “A”, which makes the last timezone in that order to be 
UTC+0 and to receive the letter “Z” (it is claimed that “J” has been 
intentionally omitted for various reasons).  The Web site gives the 
impression that this is not so, which may well be wishful thinking.
