Would future large cutters carry missiles?

Will replacements for the Legend-class cutters have missiles?

Probably not as a normal fit. They would more likely be fitted for but not with missiles, following the approach already used on the Legend class.

Future large cutters would probably follow the Legend-class practice of being fitted for, but not with, missiles. That arrangement leaves open a later armament option without claiming that missiles are funded or planned for routine carriage. No weapon or installation schedule is identified. Normal peacetime service is therefore expected to continue without a missile battery.
