near the botom of the page

also USS winston s churchill named after the british prime minister is the forth US ship named after a british person, and is one of only a handful of ships that allow british royal navy personell to serve onboard, a royal navy sailor is always on board.

I actually think it looks better than the Burke's, plus the design finally removes the nagging issue with the 51's, no helos. I don't understand however, why they decided not to install harpoons on DDG-79 and later.

They increased the vls packs by 6 each. that gives them 12 more vls, And from what i understand sm2's will be used instead of harpoons.
