An example with eight quad-packed cells would carry 32 CAMM missiles rather than 12. Manufacturer performance claims deserve caution when estimating how many incoming weapons a magazine can defeat. A deliberately facetious Falklands comparison imagines the Argentine air force destroyed several times over if every missile had lived up to its advertised performance. Firing at least two missiles per target would give a 12-missile load at most six successful engagements, even if every shot worked. That simplified calculation raises concerns about escorting Brazil's amphibious ships during a contested operation. Their disaster-relief value is acknowledged, while their protection during force projection is questioned.

Missile depth and protection for Brazilian amphibious ships
A hypothetical larger CAMM load raises a conditional question about protecting Brazil's amphibious ships.
