That thing is a destroyer in name only. It has the size and weapons of a cruiser. It should be named and labeled as such.

Although it is almost as big as a WW2 heavy cruiser like the USS Des Moines, the Des Moines had a crew complement of 1,799 men, while Zumwalt has 142, half as many as a WW2 Fletcher class destroyer.
