A twin-arm launcher on the County class

A tentative launcher change is favored for the extra freedom to stow missiles and arrange helicopter facilities.

Question

Would a twin-arm missile launcher have made County-class helicopter operations easier?

Short answer

Probably, because compact handling and stowage would provide more freedom around the aviation spaces.

Notes

The tentative answer is that a twin-arm launcher would make the helicopter arrangement easier. The reason offered is greater freedom to stow missiles and move equipment around the area. No specific replacement launcher or complete handling layout is identified. The suggestion remains an informal design possibility.
