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? ========================================================================
