When the Mk13 was faired over, I had assumed that they were going to receive something along the lines of a Mk49 21-cell RAM launcher. This would have lacked the range of the old SM-1MRs, but certainly would have been enough for a lot of purposes – heck, it is supposed to be sufficient for the LCS! 🙂

Would there be enough room for an 8-cell Self-Defense length Mk41 for 32 ESSMs?
