LPD-17 has just RAM and 30mm Mk 46 turrets for small-baot defense. Unless things change from what was shown at concept design, DD(X) will have 40mm guns for close-in defnse, but not for anti-missile duties. If they do change, I think the most likely swap will be to 30mm MK 46 turrets in place of the 40mm, but still with no missile-defense role. For anti-missile defense, it will rely on ESSM. What's the 40mm proposed for the DD(X)? I had assumed from the few concept drawings they'd be using the Mk 46 turrets for commonality to start with. Northrop Grumman bid two Bofors 40mm Mk 3. (BIW proposed three 30mm Mk 46) In the latest pictures they're still there, sitting on top of the helo hangar in low-RCS enclosures. Thanks for the info and the pic Tom, much appreciated. --- Peter Kemp Life is short - drink faster |
