So, what’s the reason we can’t take these ships, designed to carry the Mk-71 8″ gun mount fore and aft, and convert them into NGF platforms? It certainly would be a very small fraction of the cost of designing and building from the keel up, would it not? Some of these hulls have less than 20 years of service. We need a NGF platform, we have limited budget, we have a proven gun system, and we have available hulls for conversion.
