i worked with ddg 1002 project. my gun is bigger than yours.

The good ole Lyndon B. Johnson.

mmhmm. mounting a railgun in the next few years.

Never read about that. makes me curious though what it's going to use for a targeting system. Extreme range with a rail gun on a ship rocking in the ocean is going to create some interesting targeting systems methinks.

you should see the new deck housing for it. full composite, ready to house a gun the full length of the ship.

so far thinking laser guidance and dvanced computer algorhythms based on coriolus effect and rotation.

Wind and pressure will surely figure into it at well. For a normal round going a few thousand feet a second, wind is a problem. But for a round going mach 10(11,500 FPS) even a small pressure difference as it travels would equate to hitting a cement wall, it would not stop the round instantly, but it would steal velocity and alter direction. Not to mention ocean spray, mist, rain, etc. I am curious how they will solve that, but haven't found anything yet. We will see what the next few years gives us I guess.
