It doesn’t carry a rail gun. Just two 155mm.

Dunno about this navweaps.com site, but in looking for the range of these 155mm, found this:

In November 2016 the USN announced that it was abandoning the LRLAP round as its cost had soared to $800,000 to $1 million US per round. A total of 90 rounds had been purchased as of this date primarily for evaluation testing. As AGS was designed specifically for the LRLAP and cannot use any other munition, this basically means that the 155 mm guns on these ships are useless until an alternative round can be developed, probably many years in the future.

So, has spiffy guns with no ammo?
