I make out what looks like, 48xVLS tubes (possibly multi-celled), 4xDEWs, (possibly each attacking 5 individual targets or focusing firing on one or more (maybe 10!?) Beams on a single target, from at least 2 turrets simultaneously. Below and aft of the VLS tubes, there are long rectangular hatches that could hide torpedo launchers, possibly for ASW/Torpedo defense, and maybe larger tubes for heavy weight torpedoes. That odd looking cluster atop the PLANAR array might also house DEWs as well. The vessel also seems to have a very well equipped aircraft operations capability, large enough to host several multi-mission attack VTOLUAVs. With an equivalent level of technologies including: LO, ECM/ECCM, sensors, DC, (armor???) the ship could probably be better defended than a current day CVN.
