Sure, on your boat you had SMII+ missiles, the gun, and all that stuff but what about an early pre-VLS Spruance? 8 Sea sparrows (plus reloads), backed up by the CIWS. Think you would be a little less comfortable?

I do some naval computer gaming (well used to) and it amazes me how much the AB would kick the Spruance's (pre-VLS) ass even though it's less than 20 years older.
