Well, wait & see.
An another "error", is not the VLS who is hot/cold but the...
I was talking about the place for inclined ASCM launcher. As I don't see any more place for inclined ASCM launcher, I suppose that all ASCM are integrated into the VLS systems. But this has to be confirmed.
And, if that's the case, there is still a difference comparing to the latest indian...

No, th origine of this wrong rumor was just because a fan-art CG of a LHD-like ship has a 081 number.
Nothing official.
Type 081 is a minehunter, this is a fact.
