Some? Undeniably yes, but these ships had problems of their own. Note the huge hull reinforcements that had to be applied.
The FFG-7's should have got the RAM system in place of Mk 13 or better yet, a pair of containerized Mk 56 above-deck VLS but these latter are not used by the USN. For the missions they find themselves performing though, the Mk 13 was far more trouble than it is worth.
