Saw this over on SinoDefenceForum.com ("Aegis Type ships information"):
Does anyone have more details, or can confirm/deny these? What was the location of the 32 and 16 cell units, how much armor, and since when did ships get sunroofs?
Plans had already approved to install 96 VLS cells in the Iowas... Two Mk 41 32-cell VLS and two 16-cell VLS were to have been installed. They were to be recessed 18" below decks to allow for a retractable armored roof to be installed, and would have had some side armor protection.
