On the other hand, the USS Newport News didn't because she was a Heavy Cruiser and, at 21000 tons, just a tad more stable than a Gearing class DD. Rock & Roll is a relative term. A ships size and shape are just two of the many factors in how much rock & roll that you get to enjoy.
I'm glad that, as a ground pounder, that you got to enjoy some rock, some roll, and some good 'ol Navy cook'in.
