Which navies might retain big-gun ships?

The closing question contrasts full-spectrum fleets with states whose strategic needs and resources might make a missile-and-gun ship more practical than carrier aviation. Britain, France, the United States and perhaps Italy or Brazil are offered as navies likely to seek a broad mix of capabilities. Japan's political constraints might conceivably have made large guns easier to retain than aircraft carriers, while Russia and China would likely pursue the full spectrum. Turkey and Greece illustrate states for which a sensor-rich missile ship with large guns might be cheaper and simpler than a carrier. Big guns would supplement different fleet mixes according to geography, budgets, political permission and logistical complexity.
