The launcher reminds a little on a modified MK25/Mk116, but are most likely a new design. Although the drawing look like a ship installed system, I can't see the value of having a small/medium combatant carry a large amount of ASuW missiles, I see it as a more practical installation a part of a complex coastal defence system. But if the launcher was combined with another missiles...: |
