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.
