Grain of salt .. pretty sure the design for the River class was locked in before this model but who knows. Note 32 cell VLS.

Take the model with a grain of salt. I don’t think we are getting back to 30 plus Mk41 cells until after ship #3…

do you see a link to the naval news interview with LM about our program. Trying to find it

That is an ancient CSC model that LM keeps dragging along to various conferences, it and everything about it is years out of date. 24 cells is what we’re sitting at now.

Me, I'm just waiting for the announcement that Canada is going to build CSC for them...

They did talk to Canada and Australia to get their input. I filled out info requests from the UK regarding JSS when they were looking at their new AOR design. Norway did the same across NATO. But for obvious reasons they were probably not going to order from us. No capacity for one... higher risk than the UK or Germany building for them.

Well 24 cells and 42 CIAD missiles. I do wonder what's happening to the ExLS position on the ship.

8x Self Defence Length mk 41 might fit in there (as opposed to tactical or strike length) but I'm not sure those even exist anymore and if they do can they even quad pack ESSM?

Self Defence length Mark 41 cells can fit munitions up to 5.2m long missiles, so ESSM could fit with its 3.66m length. From what I can gather, it was never picked up by any export customers and isn't in active production. The longest missile ExLS can fit is the 3.2m long CAMM, so I would wager there might be issues retrofitting self defence or the longer (6.7m long) tactical length Mark 41 where ExLS previously sat. You begin getting dangerously close to going through the roof of the mission bay or having to make the cells jut higher from the deck.

I thought they were using the ExLS space to site a reload locker for the RAM?
