It is about the size of a Baltimore class cruiser of WW-2. The Demoines Class ran to 18,000 tons. I confess to be conflicted. I think hitting power, speed and survivability is more important than stealth, but I am outdated.

Yeah. You are very outdated. ;-)
Battles are fought over the horizon now and if they can’t see you on radar, they can’t hit you. The old gun aiming towers are gone. The scout plane is replaced with drones and JSTARS. Computers make it possible to put the first round on target, so stealth is everything.
