You know, they just started stripping and having sex right there … The pipe [General McArthur's pipe] was used as a dildo on the hooker, making a mockery of General McArthur’s memorabilia … they totally desecrated and insulted,” he says, laughing.

If the ship is using its increased size for say, better liveability for the crew on long journeys, more stores, more cooling equipment for the radar, more electronics and computing back end, and for some other things, yes, a ship would sacrifice VLS for other things. After all, the Zumwalt despite its displacement, only has 70 VLS. If you look at the upcoming German MKS 180 surface combatant, that would displace 10,000 or even 11,000 tons, yet it only has 64 VLS and half of them will use ESSM, not in quads, but in singles.

It can also be using Mk. 48 or Mk. 56. For example the Iver Huitfeldt class frigates have both Mk. 41 and Mk. 56. A complement of both Mk. 48/56 and 41 might be what the MKS 180 have.

Mk. 56 sits on top of the deck, like these red capped ones here.

Mk. 48 are the ones here, similar to the Mk. 56, or could be the same.
