In part, yes, there is some wasted beam, to permit better protection of the cells against attacks - the other reason is that, being unsure how to draw a different VLS, I used the Mark 41 as a stand in - but the cells are designed to hold weapons of up to 650mm diameter, with 32 of the cells forward ...

The number of VLS cells is not exceptional compared to, for instance, discussions during the Surface Combatantant-21 Cost and Operational Evalulation Analysis - where the baseline configuration was 4 x 64-cell Mark 41. (Less said about the Arsenal Ship the better...) This ship has 1 x 64-cell and 1 ...

The amidships VLS is modular, and resting atop an armoured deck - while it is a weakness in the protective scheme, sections of it are fitted to be lifted off in order to provide overhead access to #2 Reactor - #1 is, as you said, under the Sea Wolf VLS, which is also designed to be lifted out. One t...

Appearance in peacetime was incredibly important... there is a story of how, when HMS Centurion was serving as a training ship in the 1920's, the older sailors would love to shock the new recruits by jabbing their boat knives into the barbette... where they would stick, held in place by the six inch...

I know the gun is bigger than the current one - it's meant to be a twin 25mm, so it seemed close enough to work. On ships with inflatable life-raft canisters, they always seem to be placed on a structure one deck above the weather deck (My interpretation of this was that, like the secondary guns set...

Updated - improved habitability, radars, and a rationalization of other equipment. (If anyone can see a way to put life rafts on without getting into an arc of fire, that would be helpful...)

I suspect she should have a single two-tube launcher on each beam, but the G&C releases never indicated this was the case, or where it was to be located. Adding them would be very much a guess.

Okay, I backed everything up and migrated to check...

After you switch, any newly uploaded image has the external links to it forcibly re-sized.

Old images appear to still work as they did before.

I do not know how long this will be true, but that is how it currently stands.
