What a genuine Burke Flight IV would require

What should an Arleigh Burke Flight IV look like?

The suggestions are a longer new hull, redesigned internal architecture, and more vertical-launch cells, while possibly retaining the Burke name.

The suggestion is for a new, longer hull with redesigned internal architecture and additional vertical-launch cells. Retaining an external resemblance to earlier Burkes is considered a way of presenting the ship as another flight. Another participant points out that a new hull would raise questions about why it was not a different class. This exchange proposes a design direction without developing a specification.
