I’m a total landlubber, save for my love of the seafaring life in the Jack Aubrey series.

Why are a lot of people wary of this ship’s sailing qualities?

See here: US NAVY - DDG 1000 - Zumwalt Class Destroyer, Tumblehome Hull

One of two hulls - no more to be built - too expensive. Probably burn like crazy when hit - sea gals not able to carry hoses for fire suppression. ETC.
