Not an answer here, but an additional thought.

Felix, you ask about development since the Falklands in 1982.

I think a major turning point was the collision of USS Belknap and JFK and the resulting fire on Belknap. This was the time when they figured out that aluminum ships had a problem in fires. I believe that was the starting point for destroyers to be built of steel going forward. Not sure about international navies.
