Not even close.
Burke Class Destroyer, Flight III: 9500 tons displacement
WWII Baltimore Class Heavy Cruiser: 17000 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.

The Portlands could at least be useful ships. The zumwalts are a waste of money

Honestly, at this far into it, I'm surprised they haven't sent down divers to capsize the ship....
Refloat her once the fire is out which wouldn't be too long. The amount of metal fatigue, warping, and smoke damage at this point has made that ship scrap.
