Two 5 inch guns and torpedo tubes about half the size of those on a WWII destroyer.

Two 5 inch guns and torpedo tubes about half the size of those on a WWII destroyer.

And a large number of vertical launching cells containing missiles capable of taking out multiple surface and air targets simultaneously...

And if the torpedo tubes you are referring to are the ones on the fantail, I think those are chaff launchers to confuse incoming missiles.

And 2 x 61 cell, Mk 41 vertical launchers, that handle an assortment of missiles, or just 122 Tomahawks. Plus the Aegis system. A radar system and EW system that a WWII ship could only wet dream about.

Yes, the MK46 torpedo has a dinky warhead.
