Yes, Ikara’s shape has always made me discount the idea of a combined launcher but the idea has popped up here.

Now if Ikara had been more ASROC in design…..

Would you mind keeping us updated on this? I have never heard anything along these lines before but I am very intrigued. 2 things come up though.

1) Under-deck space, the launchers themselves would probably be able to take Ikara but I can not see the magazines being compatable and it would probably be a nightmare to have two very different magazines feeding one launcher.

2) If it was going to be used it would probably have been on Bristol and it wasnt.
