Wonder what the cruising speed of this ship is compared to the Ticonderogas? If the crusing speeds are similar, the difference in top speed might not matter much. But still a slower ship means slower redeployment times… Damon. |

If it can't keep up with the carrier I doubt it will be built. |

It looks like it is along the outer hull portion that is a'midship. First off it is a mistake not arming them with the initial 288 VLS cells.
Second off only 1 SeaRAM is not very reassuring when it comes to self defense which I think is why you need more missiles in the VLS.
Finally it needs to be fast enough to keep up with the carriers or it is worthless. |

It might work for shore fire support and other work needed by amphib forces – though I would dump the rail-gun junk in favor of a more reliable gun (remember the old 8"?). |

The single SeaRAM is a lot less than I would like. ESSMs can be quad-packed into a single VLS cell, which is something, but the ship should at least have fore-and-and SeaRAM units. |
