Just a quick follow up on the previous post about the Blk 2
ESSM inventory. As a bit of perspective,
if the entire Blk 2 ESSM inventory were applied across the 70+ Burke class,
that would give each ship approximately 7 missiles. How’s that for an inventory?!
Of course, there are other ESSM variants but not all that
much more. If we go to war, I hope it’s
a very, very short war!
How many ESSM Blk2 are the bespoke Zumwalt variant ?

One way or another, it will be a short war.
