The Arleigh Burke class DDG has already replace the Spruance class. There were 30 Spruance class destroyers. (I served in a few of them). There are 3 Zumwalt class DDGs.
Are you, perchance, referring to the four Sprucans that I';were reclassified as the Kidd class , the ones that had Surface to Air missile launchers? (Kidd, Scott, Callaghan, Chandler) They now serve in the Navy of Taiwan.
Was not the Burke hull the same as the Spruances? I'd thought that they just stuffed in everything they could. That is why the Zumwalt hull looks so appealing, it has a lot more growth potential.
