Question

Which US Navy design is likely to receive a supersized version next?

Short answer

An enlarged Burke is a possibility, while successive Virginia-class versions are already being extended.

Notes

An enlarged Burke is a possibility for the next American design to grow substantially. Successive Virginia-class submarine versions are already described as being extended and becoming larger. The proposed Super Burke remains an expectation about design growth, without a confirmed order for a new destroyer class.
