Have ever been in the Navy? The Nevada weighs 31K tons which is small by BB standards. Length means nothing.

Marine Corps brat, never was in the Navy. The DDG1000 is HUGE for a destroyer and it’s not even that much larger than its immediate predecessors.

But if it’s displacement you want, the Zumwalt, a modern destroyer, displaces more than both the Deutschland-class pre-dreadnought battleships and the much-feared Deutschland-class “pocket battleships.” Both of which fought in WW2. My point is still intact.
