oops. you are right, Spruance it was. In fact it's interesting (to me) to note that for the Ticonderoga they adapted an existing hull with a new weapon system (AEGIS). Then for the Arleigh Burke class they created a new hull and made adaptations to the existing weapon system. This was a good approach to limit the risk, indicative of the so-called "build a little, test a little" approach of not doing too much all at once but always build on previous success in a systematic manner.
This new destroyer is the first time in 30 years that we've seen a new hull with a new weapon system. Will watch with interest to see if that works out as hoped.
