I recall an article with photographs of the forward Phalanx arrangement but not the publication it was in. If I recall correctly the article stated the light weight seawolf was to have been fitted port and starboard in the old Phalanx position and that the aft 909 was to have been removed to provide space and weight for the seawolf director.
