Ref Q2. The mk 41 VLS is much too big to replace the ExLS one for one. 6 cell ExLS is half the height and 2/3 the width of an 8 cell tactical length Mk41 (as the self defence length version was never built).
It’s a shame they never made the Self Defence version. Still about a meter longer than a standalone ExLS 6 cell but could have been an interesting avenue to look into if top weight would have allowed for it.
Besides our investment in the ESSM enterprise it would have been interesting to see CAMM or even CAMM-ER for the River Class. And buying into that program would have led to the perfect missile for the future corvettes.
Noah - I really enjoy your work on the topic of Canadian military. However, may I suggest you work harder on your grammar, spelling and editing? Get those sorted out and your publication will become even more professional. Thanks.
