Guess I don't understand the Navy. If it's the first of its kind why is it still considered an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer and not a class of its own?

Why is an M-16A2 not an M-17?

I've often wondered about that with the FLT IIA DDGs as well. I'm sure as with everything else in government it probably has something to do with funding.
