Improving Sylver/T-45/T-23

One of the main arguements against the Sylver package at present is lack of flexibility in comparrison to US VLS. Give Aster a surface capability. Give Sylver a cruise missile, Brimstone and a few other suprises and it becomes a better use of space aboard ship.
I have often thought that launchers beyond about 36-48 are excessive and that rather than more launchers an auto-load feature would be of more use. To reduce the risk of misfire (and height restrictions) all the non-edge silos could be loaded with anti-air/suface Asters or cruise, but the side loading silos could hold a mix that can be varied using stores loaded from different angles (Aster 15/Brimstone/other) from below decks. Perhaps the fore and/or aft edges of the launcher array would be most accessable for this purpose?
When dedicated to capital ship escort the Darings will have no use for the shore bombardment capability of Brimstone type weapons, but cruise should have the range to chip in from 30nm offshore. The extra Astors will reinforce their corp mission. Perhaps the autoloading section of 'Sylver 2' could be incorporated into new frigates so they can close in for fire support to shore during amphibious operations? |
