the LCF is an CODOG ship and has the funnels as following:
- gas turbine funnel and intakes between the harpoon and the RHIB, (well actually those are 2 funnels, going to the sides)
- diesel funnels on the hangar, just in front of the torpedo tubes

The stern is not a good place for a weapon. Bad arc. Put two or four 50 cals or 20mms on the superstructure. Preferably two in front and two aft. The funnels don`t have to be on the very edge, they can be slanted outwards. But it`s your call.

Why wouldn`t it need a towed array? Every ASW ship needs a towed array. Otherwise the ship would be blind to any sub-surface targets from behind. You don`t need anything else on the stern but the helipad.

Well, this ship isn't primarily designed for ASW, its a missile destroyer for AAW/ASuW/Land Strike in support of a amphibious force, protected by the rest of the naval task force.
Edit: TBH I probably could/should give her a ASW capability, give her allround strike capabilities.
