get rid of them. You want them high. At bow level they will not see incoming missiles until the very last second and for boat targets they have a small engagement range. Keep them high for better slant angles and engagement times.

I deleted the fixed harpoon launchers and added 4 12 shot movable launders.

Why? your 2 forward one restrict you big gun shooting due to blast damage and they will be taking water in anything but calm seas. The
Sparktricians and gunners mates will "love" you for that. VLS capable poon will be out in 2010. Plan for using them.

How about this as well? For those 12 inch guns, how about a 5" (possibly rocket assisted for really long range use) sabot round that could be used for some long range precision and small bang work and use the 12'' round for closer up, heavy duty work. Think about it, 5" round with a 12" charge? Would pretty much be like shooting a .22 using a 50BMG charge. That will put some whiz on the round. Let me hear your thoughts.

No, Sabot rounds are never a good thing for fire support planning. Especially if you are planning on shooting it over the heads of friendly troops.
