Amazing the crap we spend billions on. I predict this'll be a class of what, 2 or 3 ships?

Why not just keep building more Arleigh Burkes?

That is already the plan. Read the article that I linked above in my first post.

But the Enterprise is well known for her beehive arrays

Those are some interesting looking ships. Between these new Zumwalts and the Littoral Combat Ships, the surface Navy is taking on a new look. Fascinating.

As only three of these will be built out of a very much larger order, it would seem to be going the way of the Seawolf class of submarines.     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zumwalt_class_destroyer

But, if Captain Kirk can hang in there and get his Aviator's Wings, maybe he can get command of the third Gerald Ford class CVN which is to be named Enterprise. That'll be in about 12 years or so.

If Capt. Kirk had commanded the carrier USS Enterprise, that would have definitely achieved a "chunk Norris" level of PURE AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!
