At least their destroyers are destroyer-sized instead of the cruiser-sized behemoths we call destroyers. Indeed, the new Zumwalt-class destroyers are so large that they would be classified as battleships under the interwar Washington and London Naval Treaties.
Er... the Iranian press may call it a destroyer, but most classifiers would deem them light frigates.
That's because destroyers have gotten so big, we needed to reuse the word frigate to describe ships that were once of the size called destroyers.
Lord only knows if we had gone through with the CGX, how big that really would have ended up.
