Distributed VLS banks preserve capability after damage

Should Type 83 use separate VLS sizes or a common cell, and how should the launchers be arranged?

Common full-length cells distributed around the hull maximize loadout flexibility and retain weapons after local damage.

A common VLS cell gives planners flexibility to distribute different missile types between forward and aft banks. A shock or electrical failure could disable one part of the ship, so concentrating every short-range or ballistic-missile interceptor in one location creates an avoidable single point of failure. Redundant power and separated weapons are part of combat survivability rather than inefficient duplication.
