A profile of the proposed Canaburke.

The Canaburke was a stretched variant of the American Arleigh Burke-class submitted by Gibbs & Cox as a proposal submitted to fulfill the requirement for Canada's Destroyer Replacement Program in the early to mid 2000s. The winning design however was an indigenous proposal that became the Province-class. Elements of the Canaburke proposal were incorporated into the Flight III Arleigh Burke-class design.
