Arleigh Burke class
Country: United StatesManufacturer: Bath Iron Works / Ingalls
The Arleigh Burke class is a US guided-missile destroyer family built around the Aegis combat system. Flights I, II, IIA and III represent successive configurations; the illustrated USS Oscar Austin is a Flight IIA ship with helicopter hangars.
Displacement, dimensions, speed, range and crew are omitted rather than mixing load conditions, refits or ship-specific standards. No radar range, acoustic performance or magazine figure is stated.
Tomahawk is documented for the illustrated Flight IIA lineage. No LRASM or Harpoon fit is inferred, and the existing SM-6 page is not substituted for an SM-2 reference.

Historical profile
USS Arleigh Burke was commissioned in 1991. Later flights changed aviation facilities, sensors and other equipment, so no single displacement or magazine figure is applied across the family.
