This is what we need, a. Capable surface ship which can operate independently. Cruisers were designed for this type of forward projection or “gun boat diplomacy” if you will. Needs guns though.

Why do you need guns when missiles reach out so much further? You aren't going to bring a gun to a missile fight, are you?

Launchers in the bow section, guns are mounted towards the stern.

The Russkies always did thing differently with their ship designs, but they sure build them pretty.
