The actual acronym or ship's designation would be "DDG" which stands for Guided Missile Destroyer. Two examples would be the USS Lynde McCormick DDG-8 and the USS Arleigh Burke DDG-51.
The first DDG class was the Adams class started in 1955 which featured 1200 psi steam propulsion and TARTAR anti aircraft missiles. Later classes, such as the Arleigh Burke Class would feature a vertical launch missile system and use gas turbine propulsion.
DDG's 1-50 featured several different steam power plants. These were decommissioned in the early 1990's. From DDG 51 to the present these fine warships feature the General Electric LM 2500 gas turbine. (similiar to the jet engines used on a Boeing 747)

Where do navy vessels get their names?
The conventions for naming U.S. Navy vessels has a long and varied history, dating back to the earliest days of the Republic. Today, it's pretty standard, but it depends on the type of vessel, and in special cases, the naming convention for a vessel can be changed by the Secretary of the Navy. The most recent example of ship naming are the USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112), and Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, and the USS Michael Monsoor (DDG-1001) one of the new Zumwalt-class guided missile destroyers. Both were named for Navy SEAL's who were killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan (Murphy in Afghanistan in 2005, Monsoor in Iraq in 2006), and were both posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. The Federation of American Scientists maintains a good reference list of Navy vessel types and their naming conventions. The link is below.
