Captain
37 RMA SPY-6

That information comes directly from NAVSEA, so I suppose we are intended to take it seriously. But the 37 RMA AN/SPY-6(V)1 AMDR is what is fitted to Burke III right now. Installing the same radar on a dramatically larger ship delivered ~15 years later makes no sense whatsoever, particularly given that fitting a larger and more powerful radar is probably the most single compelling justification for building a larger ship in the first place.

Indeed. I would not expect the antennas to be any smaller than the SPY-7 fitted on JMSDF ASEV. One source claimed the SPY-7 to be 5mx4.2m, significantly larger than the 37 RMA SPY-6 on the FLIII Burkes.

Well, this is almost as delusional like most Indian claims.

I'll never understand the need some people have to look at American nationalism and say "What are they, a bunch of ASIANS???". Nationalistic idiocy is an American trait first and foremost worldwide, India is a pale imitation by comparison.

Anyway, I thought the USN cancelled their railgun program years ago, but that's honestly not even in the top ten most insufferable things about this proposal...
