Is it searam or the mk launcher with 21 cells.. one is independent and one uses the ships sensors. I’d love to see the RAN put SeaRam on the Arafura class so they could be used as escort ships. One can dream!

Would prefer the lighter MPLS for some flexibility on tier 3 ships.

Naval news report seems to suggest RAN prefers 2x Mk 49 launchers for Hunters over the phalanx or sea ram for increased magazine depth.

The Naval News reporting mentions both SeaRam and the Mk 49 launchers with the latter being "the preferred choice on Hunter and other prospective vessels." and SeaRam to be fitted to the Upgraded Mogami 06FFM in line withe JMSDF specification. Hopefully the fitting of the Mk49 launchers to the Hunter class does not delay the introduction-into-service of those vessels due to the needed integration and redesign needed for the deck penetrating Mk49.
