....the need for a combat reload is low amongst the design considerations. . .

OK, then! Now what about all that exposed plumbing and wiring? Surely that's not going to be useful on a deck exposed to weather, or heaven forbid, enemy fire of some sort.

OK Froggies, let's see Mark II.

Looking it up, it’s an IR missile. So you need three electronic feeds, plus video and turret control.

Feed 1 blows/retracts the cover and powers it up.

Feed 2 is Tone from the IR tracker.

Feed 3 fires.

Snap-in or strap mountings, and a screw-lock connector.

Hydraulic and electric lines in armored cable.

Seems straightforward enough as an engineering problem . . .

That seems to be a factory model rigged for tests!
