Nice Catch @Calculus, where did you find the photos?First CSC pics from SNA 2020 (showing 32 Mk41s forward, 6 x ExLS aft, and a bit more detail on the radar superstructure). Also looks like NSM has now replaced Harpoon definitively.

Good to see 32 cells. NSM does not surprise me as all indications are that Harpoon is becoming obsolete. Could the cells also be LRASM or are they too short for that?
Looking at it, I am wondering what the three square doors are on the sides; one on port side just back from the bridge and two on starboard side, one just back from bridge and one just forward of the helo bay?
