Subject: Is the end of missile armed surface combatants near?

With the advent of guided projectile and high energy lasers will we start to see the return of gun armed destroyers and frigates with no seperate guided missile capability at all? Air warfare and strategic land attack roles with still require missiles but the majority of surface combatants may well be able to all that is required of them with a couple of medium calibre guns and lasers projectors.

Think FF or DD not FFG or DDG. More a general purpose surface combatant than a specialised AWD or ASW platform.
