As the mission deck is a direct line to the flight deck anything that could be flight launched could be stored there (Surviellance assets etc..). Some of the examples below are in this category

The Type 26 Frigate – more than just a submarine hunter - Navy Lookout

At the recent IMarEST conference, the RN outlined some of its thinking about how the Type 26 frigate's Mission Bay could be utilised in service. Here we look at these concepts and progress on the road to delivery. Modularity comes to life In an earlier article, we speculated about what...

Above is an image of some potential mission bay containerized ideas from a navylookout article.

This one makes me laugh. Its the movie moment when the garage door goes up and there's a bunch of dudes with tons of firepower inside that flatten the collected cop cars.

I can't think of a practical application of this but when you're brainstorming all options get thrown on the board.

There is no practical application for this on a RCD - the limited firing arcs make it less than useful if this container was inside the Mission Bay.

However.

On another class/type of ship, it might be more useful - consider a Sea Can on the quarterdeck of an MCDV - adding a pod with RWS in it might be useful. (Again, depending on arcs of fire....) Consider the potential of adding the RWS module to your jetty security setup - T26 pulls up alongside and offloads it to the jetty where it gets moved to a spot that expands the jetty security capability (USN used to have a booth with an M-60 in it at the end of their Carrier Piers in Norfolk - a RWS in a Sea Can might be more useful.

The other pods show some that have very limited likely utility in a T26 - both the MCM and anti-torpedo systems appear to require an over the stern-type access similar to an MCDV's.
