Oh man, I love the crazy Delta IV derivatives. For those unaware, the 7-CBC superheavy could rival Saturn V in LEO throw weight. I'm not familiar with this specific generation of next-gen Delta, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could surpass S-V.

So much of what we know about the pre-Aegis missile ships came about after Typhon's cancellation -- Belknap didn't commission until a year later, and of course the whole next generation of USN missile destroyers/cruisers was cancelled. That mon...

The internet says the real-life system can handle nine targets, which sounds to me like a system operator limitation (it's got to fit on a truck! let's do a 3x3 screen layout) more than a techn...
