What a modern first-rate warship would look like

What would a modern equivalent of a first-rate ship look like?

Roughly a 20,000- to 35,000-ton missile warship resembling the Kirov class in scale and strategic weight.

A modern first rate would be a 20,000- to 35,000-ton warship built around a major missile battery. Its size and weapons would give it strategic weight beyond the ordinary escort role. The Kirov class provides the nearest visual and functional comparison. It remains a broadly capable combatant rather than a hull whose identity comes only from carrying the largest possible magazine.
