I think what they should do is take an aircraft carrier deck, and outfit it with hundreds of vertical launch tubes. Have those mixed with Aegis radar
tracking and make it so that they can bombard tons and tons of targets. It would be like a ballistic missile submarine except with more firepower and
easier defended, with better range due to the Aegis assistance I think it would be way more formidable than a destroyer, or battleship.

The Arsenal Ship concept has been around awhile...but never brought to frutition. I agree with you that its a great idea.
But what do you mean easier defended???Subs are Really stealthy...and can launch there missiles while under water...cant really beat that.
But having a half dozen or so Arsenal Ships would be a great asset, as long as they have several layers of defense...and while they should be
big...just not to big where if you loose one its a HUGE lost.
Heres a link with a few Arsenal Ship renderings.
