The Arleigh Burke class DDGs are awesome ships...

I remember seeing (and hearing) one of the early generation gas turbine DDs tie up alongside us in Long Beach.. They were really noisy then.. From what I can find on Youtube videos, sounds like they have really done a great job quietening down the turbines on the Arleigh Burkes..

Sounds like with a Chief Engineer tour on a DDG under your hat, Command at Sea shouldn't be too far down the road. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
