A heavily armed Type 83 concept

A Type 83 concept begins near 192 VLS cells and adds box-launched strike weapons and substantial aviation capacity.

Question

What would you put in a new Type 83 hull?

Short answer

Roughly 192 VLS cells, about thirty-two box launchers, and extensive aviation capacity.

Notes

The proposed Type 83 would have enough magazine depth and supporting capability to set the tone when it arrived. Roughly 192 vertical-launch cells form the core battery. The sketch adds about thirty-two box launchers for weapons such as Naval Strike Missile. A large aircraft capacity completes the outline, although the answer does not specify its exact composition.
