Destroyers
Aegis Guided Missile Destroyers Good looking fighting ships with the ability to fight efficiently in three dimensions, the Burkes will form the backbone of the destroyer force well into the 21st Century. Starting with the Flight IIA (DDG-79 and up) units, they will have the organic helicopter capability they now lack. As you may be able to tell, they are a personal favorite here!
