As best I can recall from an early-1980s article in "International Defense Review", the missile armament would have been stuffing 184 vertical-launch missile canisters inside the aft gun-turret ring, with a mix of surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles.
Also, to be honest, I tuned out the Zumwalt fan-boy bit at the end as blatherings by someone who doesn't appreciate the visceral difference between a 9- (or 6-) round volley of the 1-ton express and precision-guided pinpricks with no more explosive than a mortar round.
