Here is a diagram of the Mk-26 dual arm launcher, the system supported RIM-66 Standard and RUR-5 ASROC. It was used on Virginia Class with 24 missiles forward and 44 in the aft launcher. It was also used on the Kidd Class with the same 24/44 load out and on the first five Ticonderoga Class cruisers with a 44/44 load out. #mk26 #virginiaclass #kiddclass #ticonderogaclass #rim66 #rur5 #asroc #navalsafari #aviationsafari #aviationpreservation #boneyardsafari
