- Hmmm, the forward gun look disproportionate for a 5"/62 on a LPD 17 hull (
except if the american make a return to the 1970's era 8"/55 Mk 71 )
It's a rail gun, but that's noted in the text.
- The phased array radar is probably the larger version of the AMDR (20 or 20 feet diameter ?)
21 foot S-Band faces, again noted in the text.
- I look one bofor 57mm/70 Mk 3 aft the after funnel/uptake
Yes, for close in work, also noted in the text.
- I count 2 CIWS RAM (one atop the forward bridge, one aft the after funnel/uptake)
Yes, two Mk 49 launchers. Noted in the text.
- I count 2 allay of VLS launchers ( 2 x 9 groups of 16 VLS each, for a grand total of...288
VLS) =>
Dangerous to put too many VLS on one ship, Dangerous to "put all your eggs in one basket"Sometimes it's nice to be able to sustain an engagement. This is a stupid critique, especially as the fleet continues to shrink.
