Sure you do! For now...

Roll pods!! They should renamed LEED as "Ghost Rider"

Did some more digging. HELIOS and DarkStar operate in the 50-60kw range. Iron beam is up to 100kw. The strongest laser the US navy is currently working towards is unarmed and just called SSL-TM (solid state laser technology maturation) and is shining for 150kw. However, defence engineers...

Unfortunately I can't answer this question on this forum.

Sure we could figure it out and use it... For drones. Also, rain?

Pipe dream. The energy requirements for lasers is significant. In order to achieve a quick and reliable kill, you need multiple lasers hitting the target from different angle to avoid "blooming" (the laser beam heats the air changing the air's density and causing the laser beam to difuse). So...

Conceivably each missile could take out an anti-ship missile, so that's 21 engagements. I can't say on here how many rounds CIWS would use to engage a single threat, but I figure that based on how many CIWS rounds a CPF carries, the RAM can actually engage more threats, and you don't need to...

Doubtful. The exhaust ports on the back are meant to vent into open air. Not sure what the heat from that exhaust would do to the roof of the mission bay.

For the "actual" work RCDs will do 99% of the time, the mission bay is an unprecedented improvement in capability. USVs for mine clearance, portable recompression chamber for dive ops, extra bunks for an LE det, survey equipment, etc. But name me one thing they can put in there that will help...

Lol. It's funny because you could have used your post regardless of what my post said.

ALL THE SOFTKILL!🎉 🎉

I'm not sure what number you think "absurdly" high is, nor am I going to tell you what the actual salvo sizes are against various enemy warships (or what we know of our enemy's planned salvo sizes against us), but I think you might be surprised. Almost the entire US navy surface fleets lacks...

Which is why it drives me nuts every time the media says something like "ASBMs are un-interceptable!!". It needs to slow down to find its target.

Block Va (MST) Tomahawks don't have that kind of range. Closer to 500km, and anything you shoot at at that range will be hard to find and hit by the time you get there. Longer range on anti-ship missiles isn't all it's cracked out to be, unless you have the capability to update the location of...

Getting a remote launchable acoustic decoy system is something navies desperately need so this would be a good addition.

SO MUCH SOFTKILL!! 🎉🎉🎉

GIVE ME ALL THE NULKAS! (seriously, you can never have enough soft kill)

During the day in calm seas...

Perhaps it has come to the point (hopefully) where talking to "Iran" and talking to "the IRGC" are not the same thing.
