Type 31 missile trucks still need orders and yard capacity

Type 31 missile trucks would need orders and construction slots as well as the desired missile capacity.

Notes

Additional Type 31-derived missile trucks could usefully support a task group. The idea still needs orders and construction capacity, and a second Type 31 batch had not been ordered in the situation discussed. Export work using the same facilities could reduce their availability for domestic ships. A proposed force therefore has to account for the actual production sequence as well as the desired weapon fit.
