Yes it is JW as best as I understand it. The Superstructure is a composite and helps with the weight and provides some stealthiness I guess. Those cannon though, 155's with 83 mile range?!?!? TEN rounds a minute....gives new meaning to stand-off battery work when covering an amphibious landing. Very expensive to us taxpayers but one such vessel can do the work of several older ones and with less crew exposure.
