...between a DD and a DDG in the US Navy? I thought the "G" stood for guided missile, but Spruance class DDs seem to have as many of those as Arleigh Burke class DDGs. So why the different designation?

Joe;
I may be wrong, but I believe the DDG has the capability to protect an area with missiles ( as in a Task Group) while a DD is listed as such if it only has point defence or self defence missiles (self defence only).
