Is this the new Glock Naval mount?

Another update on the Zumwalt guns and trying to get them to work. https://news.usni.org/2019/01/21/nav...o-zumwalt-guns

One thing that I note in the article, is that the Navy planned to buy 2000 of the rounds. Huh - in a real war and bombarding a landing site - how long would those last. Now, I know that the rounds were supposed to be superduper but the history of bombardment in the Pacific suggests that if you really think you well take out a heavily defended beach and land beyond, you go throw rounds like water and the results are not conclusive.

Sounds like instead of just admitting this was screw up we will spend millions so the program isn't such an embarrassment.

Accurate fire reduces the volume needed.

The Navy's top officer just admitted the much-hyped electromagnetic railgun is a big mess

I understand what they were designed for, but I think it is shortsighted, or was shortsighted to design a major surface ship that could not use its main guns to engage surface target.

Wars and conflicts and engagements don't happen the way people expect or plan for.
