Will be interesting to see how this bow shape plays out in real life... looking a little wet based on the first video published.

From the side views, it seems like only a little spray is getting past the bulwarks.
Nothing like this one:
From Euronaval 2024, an FDI frigate with "full options":
- 32x Sylver VLS
- New MLPS multipurpose launcher on the hangar roof (for up to 16x Mistral SAMs or 88x laser guided rockets or a mix of weapons including decoy rockets)
- RapidFire 40mm CIWS (also on hangar)
- Other self-protection including: Jammers (Thales?), 2x CMLS torpedo decoy launchers (Naval Group) and 4x Sylena decoy mortars
The only option missing apparently is Strales guided 76mm rounds for the main gun (Leonardo), but that might be overkill!

Hrm... That MLPS is a good idea. I suspect that the typical load is going to be some 8x Mistral SAMs, 22x laser guided rockets, plus decoy rockets.From Euronaval 2024, an FDI frigate with "full options":

I still prefer the 76mm Supraponte as the CIWS, it's very close to the weight of a RAM or Phalanx install.
And I fully expect to see the Vulcano and DART rounds for the 76mm main gun.
