I disagree with your point that the Constellation's radar fit is too small, especially given the environment they're expected to fight in.Notnsure how a ship can be described as "way to big", there aren't really any disadvantages to the increased size (if anything I'd argue the Constellations aren't big enough, although my view is that the US Navy shouldn't have built anything smaller than DD-21, with the exception of the LCS being used a mothership/minesweepers capable of self-deployment and very limited self-defence).The multiple arrays of SPY-6 staring in different directions simultaneously is also an advantage, especially when the threat environment could vary from Class I UAS (although in the Pacific this is more likely to be Class III UAS at minimum unless operating very close to hostile shores) to Hypersonic Glide Vehicles.
