) class replenishment ships are 32.3 meters wide, as are most of the rest of America's sealift and logistics vessels).
There is no evidence that naval tastemakers, when responding to new U.S. Navy vessel requirements, are exploring anything but old Panamax dimensions. America’s Navy has lived within the limitations of the Panama Canal for so long that those old dimensions risk constraining innovation. Proposals sporting new, larger dimensions are uncompetitive, disadvantaged in today's lowest-cost-technically-acceptable environment. The costs of proving out new, larger hull designs cannot compete against a proposal to employ a more familiar Panamax compliant hull design.
