I'm kinda hoping the LCS gets canned, and a more "suitable" surface combatant takes its place.

Like that idea. I've heard the idea of using the first two DD-1000 as test vessels for futures systems and abilities. I like that idea, and really don't think the US should pursue any more of the class. And YES, I think using the Burke as a starting point for developing the next major surface combatants is a great idea.
