19 stages are in DES

In other words, DES is a 16-round Feistel cipher having block length 64; it encrypts a plaintext bit-string x (of length 64) using a 56-bit key K, obtaining a ciphertext bit-string ( of length 64 ). The algorithm, which is parameterized by this 56-bit key, has 19 distinct stages.
