I just don't see the need for something like this.
It would be massively expensive to buy and operate.
It won't help with control of the littorals as well as the LCS/DD(X) combo.
It doesn't have TMD capability of the CG(X).
The USN already has plenty of VLS cells.
A single heavyweight torp could still send it to the bottom.
It has no aviation facilities (or none mentioned).
NGFS will be in fine shape with dual-155mm DD(X)s.
Better to focus on other areas.
