Question

Would the proposed battleship retain the DDG(X) designation?

Short answer

No. The new ship is expected to use a different name because DDG(X) is regarded as finished.

Notes

Dr. Clarke says he does not expect the ship to be called DDG(X), describing that program as finished. The exchange distinguishes the continuing requirement for a large escort from the name of the program intended to deliver it.
