Two 5 inch guns and torpedo tubes about half the size of those on a WWII destroyer.

And 2 x 61 cell, Mk 41 vertical launchers, that handle an assortment of missiles, or just 122 Tomahawks. Plus the Aegis system. A radar system and EW system that a WWII ship could only wet dream about.

Is the basic composition of a carrier group based on the carrier, an attack sub, a replenishment ship, 2 frigates, 2 destroyers and 2 cruisers in general ? Then depending on the mission additional ships added ??

True. Drop the Bunker Hill into any large WW2 naval battle and she would come out on top after completely destroying the enemy.
