in what aspects are they weaker than USN ships? afaik their freeboard is one deck level lower, they lack the Tomahawk programming equipment and some redundant damage control features.

GS says this (some structural issue):

Construction was done to mercantile rather than military standards

I also read somewhere this was done because of budget limits, but I forgot where.

Looks like they will have just 1 helicopter/hangar as compared to 2 on the flight 2a Burkes. Any links to schematic or general plan for these ships?

Interesting, looks like a bunch of lego bricks being put together 🙂

Are these also being built to the weaker mercantile standards?
