There you have very long range anit air.
You could do similar with a patriot battery too.
Just a way to get air defenses onto ships in a pinch...and as much and as powerful as you would like.
The US, Europe, the russians, and the Chinese all have systems that this could be done with. Systems that are mobile/protable and self contained.

Just a rumour at this stage not confirmed officially, but on my other forum there is talk that there is damage to QE's prop shafts that happened as she was doing twenty plus knots and may have to go to Rotterdam to dry dock. She's sailing on Tuesday we'll know then if it's true or not. I hope it's just here say.
