The Arleigh Burke class of guided missile destroyers ( DDGs ) is a United States Navy class of destroyer built around the Aegis Combat System and the SPY-1D multifunction passive electronically scanned array radar . The class is named for Admiral Arleigh Burke , an American destroyer officer in World War II , and later Chief of Naval Operations . The class leader , USS Arleigh Burke , was commissioned during Admiral Burke 's lifetime . These warships were designed as multimission destroyers , able to fulfill the strategic land strike role with Tomahawk missiles ; antiaircraft warfare ( AAW ) role with powerful Aegis radar and surface-to-air missiles ; antisubmarine warfare ( ASW ) with towed sonar array , anti-submarine rockets , and ASW helicopter ; and antisurface warfare ( ASuW ) with Harpoon missile launcher . With upgrades to their AN/SPY-1 phased radar systems and their associated missile payloads as part of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System , the ships of this class have also begun to demonstrate some promise as mobile antiballistic missile and anti-satellite weaponry platforms . Some versions of the class no longer have the towed sonar , or Harpoon missile launcher . Their hull and superstructure were designed to have a reduced radar cross-section . The first ship of the class was commissioned on 4 July 1991 . With the decommissioning of the last Spruance-class destroyer , USS Cushing , on 21 September 2005 , the Arleigh Burke-class ships became the U.S. Navy 's only active destroyers , until the Zumwalt class became active in 2016 . The Arleigh Burke class has the longest production run for any post-World War II U.S. Navy surface combatant . Besides the 62 vessels of this class ( comprising 21 of Flight I , 7 of Flight II and 34 of Flight IIA ) in service by 2016 , up to a further 42 ( of Flight III ) have been envisioned .

The FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives is a most wanted list maintained by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) . The list arose from a conversation held in late 1949 between J. Edgar Hoover , Director of the FBI , and William Kinsey Hutchinson , International News Service ( the predecessor of the United Press International ) editor-in-chief , who were discussing ways to promote capture of the FBI 's toughest guys . This discussion turned into a published article , which received so much positive publicity that on March 14 , 1950 , the FBI officially announced the list to increase law enforcement 's ability to capture dangerous fugitives . Individuals are generally only removed from the list if the fugitive is captured , dies , or if the charges against them are dropped ; they are then replaced by a new entry selected by the FBI . In ten cases , the FBI removed individuals from the list after deciding that they were no longer a particularly dangerous menace to society . Machetero member Víctor Manuel Gerena , added to the list in 1984 , was on the list for 32 years , which was longer than anyone else . Billie Austin Bryant spent the shortest amount of time on the list , being listed for two hours in 1969 . The oldest person to be added to the list was Eugene Palmer on May 29 , 2019 , at 80 years old . On rare occasions , the FBI will add a Number Eleven if that individual is extremely dangerous but the Bureau does not feel any of the current ten should be removed . Despite occasional references in the media , the FBI does not rank their list ; no suspect is considered # 1 on the FBI 's Most Wanted List or The Most Wanted . The list is commonly posted in public places such as post offices . In many cases , fugitives on the list have turned themselves in on becoming aware of their listing .

The Tomcat was developed for the United States Navy 's Naval Fighter Experimental ( VFX ) program after the collapse of the F-111B project .
