Common Missile Compartment
More gear for the new Caliphate to deploy against China and India. These toys are worthless without the will to use them. We would be better off spending the money on one last big party before the veil descends.
A very interesting contract announced yesterday: The UK is paying General Dynamics Electric Boat unit to design a Common Missile Compartment (CMC) for its next ballistic missile submarine (SSN), slated to replace the Vanguard-class SSBNs from 2022 onwards. The contract could be worth almost $600 million.
However, the contract also states that the CMC is intended for the US Navy's Ohio-class replacement as well. While the US and UK SSBN programs have long been joined at the hip through the use of the same missiles, this is another step forward in collaboration.
