Could large missile "battleships" become a thing by the 2050s? (Not trumps battleship, that is idiotic)

Now I am not saying gaint naval gun thick armor battleships, nor do I mean the arsenal ship design. Instead I mean 30 000 ton behemoths with a huge amount of deck space used solely for missiles, however it would be very much manned and have a ce trial superstructure unlike the arsenal design. The reason why I am spewing out this blastphermy is that circumstances seems to be making this more viable and usefull. You need larger ships for more energy and ammo. These ships may sit dozens or hundreds of miles away as it bombards other ships with hundreds of missiles and projectiles for days. It would also be interesting to see a few small to medium sized turret guns with some sort of long range technology, maybe ETC or something. Just to make sure I am not endorsing trumps battleship design, I swear.
