Why the Type 45 is proposed as a British equivalent to the Burke

What ship might serve as a British Empire equivalent to the long-lived Arleigh Burke class?

The Type 45 is selected because it fits the period; a larger version is expressed as a hope rather than a specified design.

The Type 45 Daring class is the suggested British equivalent within the scenario's assumption that familiar historical designs still emerge. Type 42 is another possibility, though the timing favours Type 45. A second contribution hopes for a slightly larger design. The exchange provides no general-purpose weapons fit, displacement, or production plan.
