Typically, the missiles would be distributed around the ship in batteries of eight. The launchers can be entirely sunk into the ship, where they take up two decks, but if a customer wants to leave his second deck clear, he can place the launchers in a semi-recessed position.'Had VL been adopted from the start, could more ships have been considered for Sea Wolf?and an interesting few lines here on the propsed mounting for the Leanders and Type 21http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1975/1975%20-%201960.html</blockquote>
