I wouldn't be surprised if they're someday retro-fitted with the new rail guns which are now under development. If I remember correctly, they're expected to start putting them in the fleet within about ten years.

I'm afraid those will require too much electric power for these small vessels...until they miniaturize the power plants a lot more.

Now, the new CVN-21 carriers are going to have plenty of power.
