Question

What missiles would suit 32 Mark 41 cells added to a land-attack Type 45 in Sea Power?

Short answer

Tomahawk and SM-3 are suggested, with ASROC as a further possibility.

Notes

The proposed game modification lengthens a Type 45 hull amidships. It retains 48 Sylver cells and adds 32 Mark 41 cells for a land-attack variant. The suggested weapons for the new cells are Tomahawk and SM-3, with ASROC offered as a possibility. The suggested load is for the game's hypothetical configuration; engineering and combat-system integration for a real conversion remain unassessed.
