The proposed Aegis rebuild bears a visual resemblance to the second generation of Tribal destroyers built for the Royal Canadian Navy. The comparison comes from the concept art rather than a claimed design lineage. Those Canadian destroyers remained in service until Halifax-class frigates arrived, though the destroyers were smaller than their successors. The aside gives viewers a reference point for the altered superstructure and the scale of the Long Beach proposal.
