Re: DD(X) 155mm AGS from 2008 onwards for USMC?
And what source do you want to use to support that this will be available from 2008 onward ??
Let's see... one I found says....." Ballistic round development for AGS has been reportedly postponed or cancelled and none of the existing US Army or NATO 155 mm projectiles can be adapted for use in AGS."
and all globalsecurity will say is "AGS is a 155mm Gun Weapon System planned for installation in the DD-21 Land-Attack Destroyers "
and then there's this from the Libray of Congress
"EXTENDING THE CONSTRUCTION PERFORMANCE PERIOD
The Navy determined that the original five year performance period (fiscal year 2004 through fiscal 2008) for building the first DD-21 would result in unacceptable risk for successful completion of the program. Therefore, the Navy budget supports a two year delay in the delivery of DD-21 (from fiscal year 2008 to fiscal year 2010). "
and those are the boats the guns are going into.
You give me a credable source that says this will be up and running in 2008 and I'll look into it.
OK?
