I recall reading years ago that they got away from that hull type exactly because it rolled more readily. They wanted a more stable platform and which helped with more accurate long range fire.

In the era of guided munitions that isn't as much of a problem but I still wonder why stability isn't as much of a concern has it has been until now.

Probably because the Zumwalt has some kind of computer-controlled stability system that uses maneuvering thrusters to help steady the ship.

One would imagine that naval architecture has advanced a bit since then.

You might recall that the Northrop YB-49 suffered from stability issues. And yet today, we fly the B-2.
