LOL I think I was tired. I didn't mean DDG. I meant LPD! I was on the USS Ogden LPD5 and the numbers were an estimate from my bad memory

I was supposed to precomm the USS Chung Hoon out of Hawaii which IS a DDG.. but I hurt my ankle and lost the orders. I heard precomming sucks but it would have been nice to have stayed on the island

I just looked it up for the Ogden it was..
24 officers, 396 enlisted (plus 900 U.S. Marines and others)
I really don't remember there being close to 400 Navy on the ship. once the Marines left, it was pretty empty. Our main purpose was carrying the Marines around. Pretty packed when they were on board, but at night when we had duty we would sneak down and grab a bunch of MRE's to eat up in Radio.. while playing Halo. lol
