the Mk144 launcher for the Mk49 Rolling Airframe Missile launching system. The Navy has (or at least had) plans to retrofit them onto the OHP in place of the Mk13. though this plan may have been put on hold ...


The plan is on hold and has been on hold since 2003 almost ten years now. The RAM and SeaRAM can be added if needed but there hasn't been a need. The launchers can be shipped via C-130 or C-17 to where they are needed, bolted down and plugged in and turned on.

I heard that the Perry's have hull erosion issues, particularly under AMR 3.

FFG-7s were great for what they were designed for, but they were never robustly built, and probably need to just go away. But that leaves the requirement for a replacement! :heh:

And no, the LCS is not qualified...

most likely, they were built as cheap as possible.

Could not resist posting these pics here to help other whiffers in visualizing internal space on the Perry's.

My only time on a OHP was limited to an afternoon visit to George Phillip, so people other than me can comment on the accuracy here.

Looks like the standard 76mm Oto Melera to me - the top looks flat in the first image because the lighting blends it with the background, but other than that I don't see anything odd about it.
