Lots of room in the back for the diversity seminars and gender-identify role-playing exercises.

Function rather than size.

Sure doesn't look like the destroyer I served on: DD 702, "Hank"

They have a lot of nerve calling a 15,000 ton ship a Destroyer.
It's more than 3x the size of a cold war era Adams Class DDG.
This is a Cruiser by any definition and bigger than any Cruiser now in service by 2x.

It has more in common with the Des Moines class cruisers than a destroyer.

Imagine the USS Zumwalt standing offshore being sunk by a Chinese or Iranian SSK. That’s pretty much what the Zumwalt would do.

Of course. In that respect, the Zumwalt is no different from our most advanced aircraft carrier.

Will it change course if an itty bitty iranian speedboat approaches?

he Ticonderoga class cruisers were built on the hull of Adams class destroyers... The Spruance class destroyers actually. They took that hull and stretched it about 30 feet. The beam remains the same.

Was not the Tico class based on an old destroyer hull? I know they were overloaded and top heavy.
