They call it a destroyer bit it is actually significantly bigger than a Ticonderoga class cruiser.

I wonder how at 15 tonnes the ship was designated as a destroyer. The Zumwalt is 50% heavier than the Ticonderoga class cruiser.

This seems to be of the early pre-WWI dreadnaughts prone to problems with respect to control in high s
seas. I'm guessing is has a similar computer controlled navigation system quaternary CC control of he ailerons on he B-2

U.S. Navy once headed to sea in a snowstorm during builder trials. Now, it's heading into the remnants of a tropical storm as it leaves Maine for goodYeah, because the bad guys call a timeout for snow, and/or rain.
Neat Technology. A 10,000 ton destroyer is pretty big, though.

Interesting that reverse angle on the bow. Seems like it would have much less resistance, as it would cut waves in two, whereas with the conventional bow, the waves smash into the hull and deck.

Looks so tall and narrow... like a good-sized wave will knock it over.

Lots of room in the back for the diversity seminars and gender-identify role-playing exercises.

They have a lot of nerve calling a 15,000 ton ship a Destroyer.
It's more than 3x the size of a cold war era Adams Class DDG.
This is a Cruiser by any definition and bigger than any Cruiser now in service by 2x.

It has more in common with the Des Moines class cruisers than a destroyer.
