Agree in part ofc the Zumwalt a bit more big have only 80 silos but for stealth, one big gun in more take room and mainly the Mk-57 is on 4 area which allow a ship much more difficult to destroy.I noticed that right away as well. I have to say I would actually be shocked if this ship is not packing 128 cells, with the aft VLS bank turned 90 degrees sideways compared to the forward bank.
You don't actually have to count the cells individually. You can tell right away that the 2x4 grid forward and 2x3 grid aft will result in only 112 cells.
Despite it with 112 + 24 HQ-10 he have minimmum 136 missiles and competes for be the more powerful Asian combattants with the Sejong the Great which have 165 missiles ! an Burke enlarged.
Designated DDGs but in fact they are CGs.
