Shame the River class is losing the Italian guns but it makes sense to uses what the Brits designed it to use.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for a 76mm super rapid on the future corvette, even if its pure fantasy...

Hell I'd take a lighter 76mm on the Rivers if it meant more VLS

I am particularly sad about the Lionfish RWS, it offers more capability than the Mk 38 and would have been a good upgrade for the AOP's as well.

Agreed. Or instead of MK38 we should install dual Bofors 40mm MK4s and upgrade AOPS to the same

Any rumour on the size of the fighter fleet and/or the split?

Another great wrap up, thanks!

How significant was the weight savings moving back to MK45 from Vulcano? I'm surprised it would be that big of a difference between the two.

Any rumours on a path forward to have 32+ VLS?

Listen…. All I want is F-35B’s and a carrier so we can make fun of Russia’s abysmal naval fleet lol
