would you elaborate on this sentence:

please

(I'm intrigued because I can't see much of a difference in area/depth/weight of Mk41 and Sylver and their missiles EDIT assuming Mk41 'tactical' and Sylver 50 -- SM-2 and Aster 30)
The ships to compare it against are the Italian FREMM variant, the Carlo Bergamini class. Those pack a 16 cell Sylver VLS and a 127mm gun in the bow section. The FFG(X) on the other hand has a 32 cell strike length MK41 VLS.

LOL! I've now figured what'd happened, I googled
fremm+italian+chart
and high between hits was this:

(source is

),
so I didn't read the caption
File picture: DCNS teams are seen loading a MdCN cruise missile dummy
onboard French Navy FREMM Frigate Aquitaine, first ship of the class
(picture: DCNS)
and asked a FAQ (sort of)

I am building a new Burke for the 2030s...a Flight IV which will be the size of a Korean Sejong the Great (about 11, 500 tons) but armed with Lasers, Rails Guns, peripheral VLS (Mk-55) and set up to be stronger than any other vessel afloat.

It would be about 570 ft long and a beam of about 75 ft, but be the same basic look as the Flight III but with a dual band and larger APARS, with two Lasers weapons, two 40mm CIWS Rail guns, a 130mm rail gun, and 90 Mk-41 and 160 Mk-55 VLS tubes...and the dual band much larger radars. I intend to make a video of her when I finish the 1/350 one build I am doing.
