the MK41 vls was "optional" i dont really put much hope on "optional"yes, which is i agree. still had more teeth than PKR when the ship's launched
well the rumors kinda similiar to this, which is yeah it's almost right. I've heard rumors that the mk41 would be filled with ASROC, latest sm2 or at least sm-3(which also rumored that had been mentioned for future DDG)
