i know the Zumwalts have the two deck guns with the vertical launch cells on the perimeter, but is that why they have so many fewer than a ticonderoga? 80 compared to 122?

just speculating if the guns were taken out, tha'ts a lot of room down below from what i remember?

Again it will be very expensive to replace the guns and come up with some unique addon to fill the space. I still think it is better/$$$ to contrive some sort of work around for cheaper ammo.
The comparison size shots off the two ships (Burke and Zumwalt class) can be distorted a bit by the perspective of the camera shooter and lens. The Z is a big Destroyer by any definition though.
Some more shots with two thirds of the Z fleet!
DDG116 and DDG1001

Looks like the Zumwalt will definetly carry SM-2s. But I see nothing here about guiding them... can the SPY-3 guide them?

Well USS Monsoor has "joined" the Fleet. I captured her in Bath and now in San Diego at North Island.
I have read a few pieces of late about Ammo but nothing really definitive just rumblings/mumblings? It would be nice if she could hit San Clemente Island with something besides potatoes before she deploys in 202?.
Don't seem able to post a picture right now so will try soon.

He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”
