Can't see the slides but if it's this presentation (https://archive.org/details/FutureStrategicIssuesFutureWarfareCirca2025) it doesn't even reference light gas guns (or railguns) at all.  It's also basically science fiction.  A lot of the stuff in there (especially in the nanotech section) is either physically impossible or so impractical as to be useless. 

 

As for energy density, you only store a few shots worth of energy as electricity at any given time (maybe only one).  The rest is all stored in fuel, mainly diesel because that's what ships carry these days.  As you may notice, diesel is actually quite high on the energy density scale, especially in terms of energy per voume, which is kind of key for ships.
