Hell, today's "destroyers" are larger than a WWII heavy cruiser.
Not even close.
Burke Class Destroyer, Flight III: 9500 tons displacement

I'm talking actual size, not what it weighs.
Jesus....
Is an Iowa class over 5 times the size of Burke? Only in displacement. It sure isn't 5 times as long or wide.
But since you want to go there, a Zumwalt class destroyer displaces almost 16,000 tons while a WWII era Portland class heavy cruiser was under 10,000.
