post which you quoted I actually talked about some twenty times higher price of an LCS as compared to a Cutter
dtulsa, for me it's too difficult to follow your reasoning, which is my fault, and I'll leave it at that

as far as the sea ram is concerned I was talking about future future development possibilities and yes the block 2 does have greater range according t
As for sea ram block II I was quoting raytheons & usni web pages as to block 3-4 there is always future developments [Sea Ceptor like]. The mini hosp. idea is some thing I have read about {kind like MASH} thing ,as for the refugees they could house quite a few in the mission bays and use the helos. for emergency recues @ sea. So yes they could prove quite useful in the current Syrian crisis. As for terrorist infiltration that is always a possibility but they should be able to handle that better than most. And thank you for the reply its always nice chatting with you. Some how I think we have a good chance of seeing this very scenario play out in the near future. Just my thoughts tho.
According to Nav & aerospace 2014 sea ram block 2 missiles have twice the range of the block 1s or aprox 11 miles that is greater than the old sea sparrow missile sys. What did surprise me though that its over 9ft long and 194 lbs doesn't sound so small to me also that a full load of missiles and launcher weighs 2000 lb more than a mark 29 launcher with 8 essm I thought there was a weight consideration for weapons on the lcs just doesn't sound right now does it. How ever Raytheons not crying about it because they make both of them. And its probably heavier than a 4 or 8 cell mk 41 or mk56 vls also.
I also would not be surprised if we see a radar guided version in the future for even greater range of sea ram its already about the size of amraam might be under a different name though as long as its sold as a cost effective cheap version. Might even a version of amraam.
Well the RIM-116 is a modified AIM-9, which is 3m / over 9ft long. So no suprise there. A missile weighs in at 75kg. The range is already significant for a Close In Waposn System.
If you want more, but something that's still below ESSM, a SLAMRAAM based solution might be an option for you. An AMRAAM is still 0.8m longer and twice as heavy.
