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...

The torpedo tubes are for lightweight anti-submarine torpedoes. As for the 2 5” guns, the 5”/62 Mark 45’s have a much higher rate of fire than the WWII era 5”/38’s
But the main armaments are in the two 64 cell Mark 41 VLS’s.
