Plenty of VLS systems launching Standard that still have no AEGIS
involved on the ship.

And none of them US. Fine. There are other non-US Standard VLS systems
without Aegis. Are there are any US VLS systems without Aegis?

Not since the Spruances retired, that I can think of offhand.

I believe the 4th ship of the LPD-17 class and subsequent are supposed
to get a 16-cell Mk 41 launcher.

[The first 3 didn't get it due to budgetary constraints and will
probably find it being added when they hit their first major
overhaul.]
