Yeah no, looks like you are right. I was always under the impression that they rolled out of the dock with MK41 and whatnot (due to the extensive hull modifications that would have been needed to fit it after the fact but i guess the 053H3 hull is capable of supporting shorter VLS without alot of modification which would make sense since it looks to use mk48 which is made for these kinds of things? I am still semi skeptical on the pricing however, as far as i can see, there seems to have been two contracts, one in 2011 for 72m then another in 2012 for 84m. I am also unsure if this is independent of the FMS for MK48+ESSM+Supporting systems that was for around $40-50m or something. While i guess the investment isnt bad when you look at it from an isolated sense, however, when looking at this vs the cost of the platform as a whole, is it worth it?

Though i agree with everything else you say, an upgrade along the lines of Naresuan is exactly in line with everything the PN wants for the future. Its just a matter of whether the cost and whatnot is worth it. Bear in mind, the Naresuan class upgrade was probably as economical as it gets due to the economies of scale available to the US, a CAMM or Turkish option would be significantly more expensive iirc. Our options for VLS would need to either a US option or Sylver which likely would suffer from Indian lobbying or it would be very expensive(or so i hear.) I guess the PN could look to MK48 or ExLS if they are able to get their hands on a US VLS for J-Class

From what I understand the $72M included SAAB taking care of the sourcing the electronics and weapons systems though not the munitions. I think the additional contract was directly with the US to provide ESSM munitions and training. 50M is not bad for munitions forn2 ships (32 missiles each and additional for reload ect) plus support and training. But as you said, with economies of scale, the cost will likely be significantly higher for PN with respect to CAMM-ER or a turkish missile. However, that is the reason i think PN should try to have the J-class and F-22P eventually using the same SAMs as it will decrease logistical cost and per unit cost of the weapons. That being said, im sure HQ-16 could also fit but i just dislike the idea of a single missile per launcher for a ship like f-22p. 8 medium range weapons (while better than the 8nshort range currently equipped on it) doesn't seem to be worth the cost. I would hope that either with Turkish development of G-40 SAM or acquiring CAMM-ER from Turkey or perhaps china developing a quad packed SAM, PN will have access tona better punch for F-22p and J-class.
