This only works if the mission requirements of the USN are similar to the other navies.

Constellation class frigates sank because USN requirements were vastly different from French and Italian navies. The modifications made the ships more expensive than if they were designed from scratch.

the Us history of mission creep ... Freeze the design early and build it... But no we cannot do that...Why that makes too much sense !
