Of course she was gorgeous...she was a show boat!

The Russian “Kirov” class is also a showboat and she has beautiful lines as well.
The Tumblehome hull design though looks weird to me, and it also has many thinking it would be very unstable in a quartering following sea, in a very dangerous way.

I think the Burke class has nice lines. I like the sharply raked bow and curvy hull lines. She looks fast. I am glad we are still building a ton of those things. And it sounds like a very successful design overall.
