CGX was killed in its cradle when the Zumwalt DD’s had so many cost overruns. The Navy decided it couldn’t really afford a new cruiser and so has been packing more stuff into their Flight IIA Burke destroyers. The later Burke’s are filling the role of light-cruiser.

Thanks. I still think the Navy is going to need a heavier platform to control sea lanes though.
