Hey Snipe, I don't have a clue whats actually in the Focsal, and I don't know how much physical space one takes up, but was any consideration give to adding a SM launch rail and magazine up there? It would imped the firing of the main guns forward I realize but it would have just added that much more to the ability of the BBs.

I omit considering the ass end due to the need to land helo's.

Edit: after looking again It doesn't apear there was as much room forward of the main battery as my memory was insisting.
