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 ?
ReplyDeleteWhich don't work in Burkes.
One way or another, it will be a short war.
ReplyDeleteAnd China is in a better position to regenerate their navy after any conflict, with a significantly larger industrial base.
ReplyDeleteThat is just so grim. Perhaps we can get the Chinese to build some for us in their unlighted robotic fab plants. I've read that they emplaced over 290K robots last year alone.
