To offset the extra weight of the 2 x CIWS units.

I doubt that would be neccesary, as you have already lightened a lot near that position by emptying the ikara magazines.

What is the little missile midships? It looks like a mini-Harpoon. I do agree that you probably want to keep Sea Sparrow.

Bronies are like the Forsworn. Everyone agrees that they are a problem but nobody wants to expend the energy rooting them out.

I think it's still an Harpoon, just drawn at the correct scale instead of slightly exaggerated for detailing purposes as for Shipbucket practice.

I included the Sea Sparrow system on HMAS Sydney as a comparison.

Great ship but I've never been a fan of the "to-scale" missiles. I prefer the oversized versions that at least show a bit of detail and form.
