 of curiosity, how much 'wire' can a Mk48
 'drag' before the spool runs out?

 How about some others?

 I would
 imagine that - since Space Is Really, Really, Really, Really
 Big - the wire spool would be mounted in the launching ship
 rather than in the missile. Available internal volume would
 always be at a much higher premium in the latter as opposed
 to the former.

That *could* cause a problem when reloading, no?

Do subs still carry reloads?

I'd think they must.

Still I'm pretty sure the reloadable anti-tank missle launchers have the spool in the launcher but I guess it could be part of a 'canister/round'.

Anyone know for sure?
