I think Mk 26 Mod 0 should be the max on this hull.
sorry to say it this harsh, but....... shut up when you don't know what you are talking about. the mod 0 is exactly the same size as the mod 1 and 2, apart from the length. and while length wise it is out of the question to fit an mod 1 or 2.... the problem why the mod 0 would not fit as well is beam. in the bow, the sides of the ship are sloped inwards, which makes the beam at the waterline (at that point much) smaller then that at the deck. so even when it looks like it could fit on an top view, inside this is not true. or in other words: I don't think it will fit at all.
Just curious about something then. This hull is 50' longer than the UK Type 42 and they managed to fit a twin Sea Dart launcher on the forecastle and a 4.5" turret, all on a forecastle only 15' longer. Also, my freeboard there is 27', the Type 42 has only about 19'. I understand that the Type 42's had a reputation for being cramped, but by having only the missiles on the bow section that would seem to solve the cramping problem.
depends on the internals of the launcher, which are unknown to me. it seems to be somewhere between mk 13 and mk 26 in size.... but I am not certain.
the launcher not fitting were you put it is described above.
