A Canadian destroyer leader inspired by Type 055

A larger ship carrying more of the systems selected for Canada's Type 26-derived vessels.

Question

What would a Canadian Type 055-style destroyer leader look like?

Short answer

A larger ship carrying more of the systems selected for Canada's Type 26-derived vessels.

Notes

The concept expands the Canadian Type 26 armament fit. Its analogy is Type 055's relationship to smaller Chinese destroyers: more equipment of familiar kinds. A Canadian counterpart would increase weapon capacity without necessarily introducing an entirely new system family. This remains a broad concept.
