History
The Mk 22 GMLS was fitted on the Brooke class frigate from 1966 onwards. The launcher was designed to have an similar ship impact as an 5''/38 Mk 30 gun mounting. The Mk 22 was basically an simplified Mk 13 installation, having only 16 missiles stored. Theoretically, it could fire any mix of RIM-24 Tartar, RIM-66 Standard MR and RGM-84 Harpoon missiles, but this seems never to have been done in service. As far as is known, the magazine was always filled with either Tartar or Standard missiles.
