		The Arleigh Burke class are among the largest destroyers ever built (larger is the Ticonderoga class of cruisers, which were constructed as destroyers and subsequently redesignated as cruisers), and certainly among the most powerful.
		Admiral Burke was alive when the class leader was commissioned, and his words to the plank crew echo in the class's distinguished service to date: "This ship is built to fight; you'd better know how." Admiral is a word from the Arabic term Amir-al-bahr (Lord of the bay).
		One Arleigh Burke class ship has been damaged by enemy action: Cole was damaged by a improvised explosive device delivered by a suicide boat in October 2000 in Aden, Yemen (see USS Cole bombing).

	Destroyer History — Introduction
		State-of-the-art destroyers as World War Two began were the Japanese “special type.” The first of these were the Fubuki class; with heavy gun and torpedo armament, enclosed double turrets and a low silhouette, their design became the prototype for all subsequent Japanese destroyer construction.
		Destroyer construction resumed in 1932, Over the next seven years, the US built several third-generation destroyer classes, collectively the “1500-tonners,” all of which featured this new 5-inch gun on a 340-to-350-foot high-forecastle hull that could exceed 35 knots.
		The fourth-generation Benson and the concurrently-designed Gleaves (also known as the Livermore) classes (top of page) were similar in appearance to the Sims class, but returned to a two-stack layout, reflecting a “split” powerplant, in which two fire rooms alternated with two engine rooms for improved survivablity in case of a torpedo hit.

	Cruiser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Historically they were generally considered the smallest ships capable of independent operations — destroyers usually requiring outside support such as tenders — but in modern parlance this difference has disappeared.
		The current Aegis cruisers were originally designed and designated as a class of destroyer, intended to provide a very powerful air-defense in these carrier-centered fleets.
		In the years since the launch of the Ticonderoga the class has received a number of upgrades that have dramatically improved their capabilities for anti-submarine and land attack (using the Tomahawk missile), and today the name is not mis-applied at all.
