How the US Navy Turned a Tank Ship Into a 'Floating Armory'
The US Navy's most powerful destroyers carry enough missiles for one battle, with no way to reload at sea. A ship built to haul tanks is now the Navy's answer to a forty-year problem. USNS Montford Point was scheduled for the scrap heap. Then came the Red Sea, a transfer system called TRAM, and a budget line for at-sea VLS reloading. The Navy is now testing something once dismissed as impossible: rearming a warship's vertical launch cells while underway in open ocean. This video covers the physics, the engineering trade-offs, and what it means for the next conflict in the Pacific. #USNavy #VLSReload #FloatingArmory #NavyDecoded #RedSea #ArleighBurke #navalwarfare Timestamps: 0:00 The most capable warship cannot reload.

Can the missiles keep up?
