I think the best possible sollution to the lack of NSFS would be a new platform, but this couldn't be available for at least another 20 years. So we have to

But this is what it should be like in my opinion...

Evolved Aegis Radar(whatever the newest kind will be in 20 years)
420 PVLS Cells around the ship
12 Advanced Gun System loaded with LRLAPS
6, 16 inch 62 caliber guns and automatic loader(each gun about 3-4 rounds per minute)

Atleast a 1200 round magizine for the 16 inch guns and a 8,000 round magizine for the AGS's. Each system should be able to be reloaded at sea for long deployments.

There should also be a couple helicopter pads that can hold ASW aircraft.

It should also have a few UAV's to spot targets over the horizen.

This would be the most deadly ship to ever be put to Sea.
