Hey guys,
just starting out with Harpoon 5,
quick fundamental question regarding how to read the weapon info:
Example: Arleigh Burke Flight III
F&A(8)4 fwd & (8)8 aft Mk41 VLS w/9 msls total, typical loadout 38 SM2MR, 6 SM3 Blk IA/IB, 16 SM6, 32 ESSM, 4 VL ASROC, 24 Tactical Tomahawk//F/2A 3 SPG-62
I read this as the MK41 VLS can fire from Front with 4 mounts each having 8 tubes, and/or the Aft with 8 mounts each having 8 tubes...but what does "w/9msls total" mean?
Does it mean each turn 9 missiles can shoot total from the Front and/or Aft?
thanks in advance,
