These warships were designed as multi-mission destroyers,[5] able to fulfill the strategic land strike role with Tomahawk missiles; anti-aircraft warfare (AAW) role with powerful Aegis radar and surface-to-air missiles; anti-submarine warfare (ASW) with towed array sonar, anti-submarine rockets, and ASW helicopters; and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) with Harpoon missiles. With upgrades to their AN/SPY-1 phased radar systems and their associated missile payloads as part of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, the ships of this class have also demonstrated promise as mobile anti-ballistic missile and anti-satellite weaponry platforms, operating on 15 ships as of March 2009.

None of that sounds like supply or personnel transport to me.

a warship still is a ship, it still can transport people or goods regardless of bells of whistles though?

Yep, you're right. Noah's ark could have conceivably been a warship too.

I appreciate your point of view and if you want to view your labors as part of a humanitarian effort I'll respect that.
