The same could have been said of Battleships in their heyday. I would hazard a guess its main defense much like its forebears would be its accompanying escorts. There likely is a significant possibility of undisclosed systems as well.
As these are more than likely going to serve as flagships for Non-Carrier Naval Squadrons in the U.S order of battle. As well as seriously up-gunning carrier battle groups as well. So they are hardly going to be hunting submarines alone.
These are also only the first in the ‘Golden Fleet’ initiative. So it stands to reason we’ll see the announcements of new classes of vessels meant to serve alongside them.
The hull is constructed using double walls below the waterline. There are also new underwater drone systems that could possibly serve in an anti-torpedo/mine role. American steel is far superior to any other nation's. Don't know of any other nation besides Russia that has any real submarine force at all.
What's it going to have to stop a submarine from taking it out?

It'll be a good show!
How do we know the shipyards are using American steel?
