When I read on wiki that DDG-1000 will be as silent as a submarine, I was very very suspicious. No ways can a 14,000 Ton surface ship with a giant wake in the back be silent...
Then I saw this video from Navy's website

Took a while for me to find since their video section is buggy (loads wrong videos)
I was awestruck by the wake or lack there of this ship leaves. *droool*
good bit @ 0:27
Also, from this site

It appears navy wants to purchase 13 DDG-1000s in total by 2020.
Is this true? If so, HURRAAY!!!
