Let's see 4 ESSMs per VLS w/ 80 PVLS leads to 320 ESSMs, not including CIWS guns. If the computers were able to handle it I'd say they all get splashed. AEGIS ships are specifically designed to be able to empty the entire magazine in one go, last time I checked.

I would say you are sadly mistaken in that theory. A modern DDG against lets just say even 20 modern jets at once nevermind over 200 planes like Yamato faced would loose. If you dont know why then I wont explain.
