That’s good to hear. I’m assuming that a cruiser, being larger hulled, has more capability than a destroyer.

You assume correctly. The cruiser carries a significantly larger missile load, and better facilities for helicopters.

Kinda. The Arleigh Burke class is almost as big and the Zumwalt class destroyer is actually larger.
