Newer vessels are designed with anti-ship missiles, replacing heavy naval artillery designs. An excellent example would be the Soviet/Russian Kirov class rocket cruisers. In the 1980s the four battleships of the United States Iowa class were fitted with Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles, their 16-inch guns were still retained.
