No kidding! I passed by Bath Iron Works going to a relative's wedding a few years back. There were some Arleigh Burke destroyers docked. Awesome sight to behold.

Bath is awesome. I pass it almost every single summer when I go visit some relatives. This book: Amazon.com: The Yard: Building a Destroyer at the Bath Iron Works (9780060929633): Michael S. Sanders: Books details building an Arleigh Class destroyer at Bath from design to launch. I didn't read it cover to cover but it's worth a look for the more interesting passages in designing and bringing a 21st century destroyer to fruition.

The one I saw was from my Uncle's boat and since he spent 20+ years in the Navy he could answer some questions about the ship which made seeing it that much cooler.
