Interesting combination of imported and home-grown technologies. Separate reading described the KVLS as being designed to launch two ROKN missiles. If they and the USN were smart, we would adapt the Mk41 and they the KVLS to be able to launch each other's birds. Obviously, that is only a small part of a complete offensive or defensive weapon system, but being able to use the "disposable" portion of another country's weapon system would sure make logistics a lot easier. I'm not claiming that this is a new idea, but it is the first time I've had the idea of going beyond Army/USMC/Navy ammo compatibility to the international zone.

Your thoughts on that idea?

These are about the same size as the LCS class and are probably cheaper. Why not get Korea to build them for us?

How do they launch these?
Does whole cradle roll into water?
Curious.

We should have something like this instead of the Little Crappy Ship we are building.
