1. A Burke basically fulfils the traditional role of a crusier and has comparable displacement and capabilities.
2. The Navy doesn't know what it really wants a crusier hull to do that a Burke doesn't do adequately already or with some minor changes.
3. A Burke is relatively cheap for a US Navy ship and the production line is 'hot'.
Until one or more of the above changes significantly no cruiser project will succeed.
why can't they put the phalanx on the sides of the ship while searam occupies the front and back?
t. Retard who doesn't know about ships.
>But muh type 055
Here's my adaptation of the old bong Type 43 DD proposal
It's good user, but specifically i'm looking for a proper answer to the type 055. I have not seen anything even resembling a concept
You seem to be mistaken, the 055 is China's answer to Burkes.
I 100% guarantee you can't form a cogent argument for why a new cruiser-in-name-only is needed. The roles of surface combatants have bled together.
>proper answer to the type 055
12k tons, 128 cells (120 w/unrep crane), TWO 5" guns...it's on par, if not better
>mid ship aviation facilities
Full retard, at least swap the rear VLS deck with it.
