A lot of detail went into these models. They are available in several different formats. The Arleigh Burke Class destroyers are the most heavily armed destroyers ever built in the US and the most powerful in the world. These destroyers were designed to replace the Spruance Class D and much of the technology came from the Ticonderoga class Aegis Class Cruisers. The angled sides of the superstructure are part of design to reduce the radar signature of the vessel at sea. The tripod angled mast is also for the same radar signature reduction.
