Question

How many Mark 41 cells could a converted oil platform carry?

Short answer

No cell count is supplied. The suggestion is that a stable semi-submersible might allow VLS cells to be reloaded on board.

Notes

No cell count is established for the proposed armed rig. A semi-submersible designed around stability might allow vertical-launch-system cells to be reloaded on board. This remains a speculative possibility, with no working installation identified.
