Must be a new ship or a refit.
The performance testing of those ships is nothing short of incredible.

That's the USS Gonzalez (DDG-66). She's the 16th Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer. 500ft with a 67' beam, IIRC. Powered by four 100,000 shp turbines and just two rudders. Yep, must be Capt. Pats!
BTW, she is named for Alfredo Gonzalez, recipient of the MOH.
Cheers!

John,
I believe the total SHP is 100K.
