yeah can somebody explain to me the targeting by, and damage control of, this "striker":
?

Actually there are a bunch of issues that surface immediately. The most obvious is who has command and control over these strike assets? Distribution and control normally do not sit well in the same sentence. How does the decision tree works under this new concept?yeah can somebody explain to me the targeting by, and damage control of, this "striker":

I believe the control of missiles on transport and other non-combatant vessels are remotely controlled via satellite up-links to a command flag ship within the strike group.
These days everything is interlinked with one another so it could work if communication is kept up within the whole fleet.

I post a recent article which might be related to what you guys said (when I saw the armed tanker though, I could think just of Hilfskreuzer LOL!):

I don't think it is denominated simply to communications. Presumably the CWC concept is still relevant and in view of increasing adoption of adaptive force package, the alignment of command and control and how decisions are formed and executed will become increasingly complex with distributed lethality.
Yes
Jura, USN have idea armed AA ships, replenishments ships operated networked with MSC which have sensors, radars and would direct, guided the attack.
But according a recent article i have read it is not good idea coz provides an additional task to the detriment of the main, refueling.
If USN had a big number of fast repl ships with TF about 10 this could worck but sadly she go for 0 !
She say expensive to maintain and special repl ships with a big power of 100000 cv in general others US 30/40000 cv for 41000 t andthey are clearly more expensive to build in more the Supply are the more big Supply ships in the world, 49000 t !
And in war time majority of repl ships would be far enough in the back for reason i explain after * and this idea worck good only for attack with Tomahawk up to 1700 km others weapons get a range of max 150 km
*Don' t forget repl ships get a clearly more low speed as combattants 20 kn vs 30+ except Fast only 3 in the world Supply Class and after Type 901, capable 25/26 kn.
So 2 solutions :
TF with her repl ships at more low speed less logic use a TF at his speed but if rapid movement towards the opponent is not required can worck, actually we look only operations in peace time Navies have time but in War time it is completely different.
Or repl ships alone with if possible an enought decent escorts and this is where a big number of LCS well armed is usefull for complete 84 evetually for few years up to 89/90 CG/DDG which can' t be they can not be everywhere, stationed in more secure areas idealy close allied bases and better covered by CAP, in second line.
And need go back with TF which can also a little go towards them but for it to remain effective enough depends distance btw the 2 and in the Pacific the more big Ocean more difficult.
Or remains a solution USN use also close allies repl ships based more close help for number but problematic for ammo few Navies use same weapons and especially CVN carry different especially Air lauched Harpoon, SLAM-ER, some bombs then difficult but no problem for fuel.
Same problem for ports only some can refuel all logistic to ships.
Supply ships are prime targets also without them, destroyed, a TF need go to port which can take much time.

Watch these pretty chicks in action 
The bad guys, red side, are played by the 65th Agr Sqn with her 24 F-16C block 25/32 and their unusual cammo.
Last year in March was retired the last 7 F-15C used for some month by this Sqn after the 64th Agr Sqn was stand down in 09/2014 had 19 F-15C, 12 others transfered to ANG.
These 7 scrapped now.
